Does it fail at the same point every time? Yes, it crashes at the same spot every time, i.e. same traceback messages. These kind of problems are almost always a bad cd. Has this cd ever worked on other machines before? The source CDROM is a RedHat "factory" CD right out the RH 6.2 Deluxe box and has been used on 2 eMachine 500's, however, this is the first time I've tried it on a Dell Dimension 8100. I also downloaded the iso 2 nights ago and extracted it to a FAT32 partition and tried installing from a hard drive partition. Same problem, however, I'm not sure if it gave the same traceback. I burned the iso onto a CD, and had the same problems. I tried a Penguin Power RedHat 6.2 CD I had laying around with the same problem. Hmm...I don't know what the problem is. I'm curious if you would see the same error on Red Hat Linux 7.1. Do you have a way to download it? I can try the 7.1 installation however, I would prefer to stay away from the 2.4 kernel until it's been "in the field" a little bit longer. As an addtional note, I was able to do an FTP install of the basesystem RH 7.0. I understand. Well, I don't really have an answer for you in regards to 6.2. But at least 7.0 works for you, which makes me think that the problem is also fixed in 7.1. I'm resolving the bug as "Current Release", meaning that the problem has been fixed in newer releases. If and when you do try 7.1, please reopen this bug if the problem reappears. Thanks for your report. |
