This is what I see in text-mode: Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (innermost last) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/threading.py", line 376, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress.py", line 16, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1252, in doInstall self.writeConfiguration () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1065, in writeConfiguration self.writeNetworkConfig () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 531, in writeNetworkConfig ip = self.network.lookupHostname() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 140, in lookupHostname self.primaryNS = isys.pumpNetDevice(dev.get('device')) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 241, in pumpNetDevice return _isys.pumpnetdevice(device) SystemError: (17, 'File exists') And in another console window, I get: ... * copying /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/percraid.o to /mnt/sysimage/lib/modulews/2.2.14-50smp/scsi/percraid.o * copying /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/percraid.o to /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/scsi/percraid.o *self.network.hostname = test.[my domain name] Looks like we quit after the hostname.

Okay, and now for the details on the hardware. The box is a Dell PowerEdge 2400, with a Perc 2/si RAID card, one built-in ethernet card on the motherboard, and 2 additional Intel Pro 100 nics. I did the 'expert' install and fed the installer the appropriate percraid drivers, because 6.2 does not have the drivers for this RAID controller. I also did select the Intel Pro 100 drivers before proceeding with the installation. So the right drivers are there, me thinks...
