Description Need Real Name 2000-10-21 16:48:04 UTC

During an install of RH7, I received an error message that poped up and
said to report to bugzilla. Below is the information that was saved from
the bug report. I beleive the problem was caused by cdrom hardware failure.
I replaced the cdrom drive, and everything installed fine. Just wanted to
make sure the bug was reported in case it wasn't hardware failure and
anyone else had the problem

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-30 19:10:25 UTC

Thanks for the report, it is similar to bug 18031 and bug 15982, among others.

We plan on making a more graceful mechanism to handle these types of problems
other than just crashing as you experienced.

Marking as a dupe of 18031 since we have request for enhancements related to
improving this behavior.
