Description Sibayan Das 2004-05-20 18:48:47 UTC
Description of problem: 

While trying for a text mode installation of FC2 on a fresh system,
installation is getting terminated without any warning. anaconda is
crashing, but not all the time. I'm still unable to decide why it is
crashing.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 

anaconda, Fedora Core 2 

  
Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
