Ok, I'm trying to get a better idea of what happened.  You were trying to start
a GUI install and then got this message?  When you say "after X test" do you
mean when the GUI installer is starting or does it happen when you are in the
Xconfiguration screen in the installer?
Comment 3 jonah.blossom 2001-05-16 21:15:48 UTC 
Setup would start X, (the RedHat logo and mouse cursor would appear) but then 
drop back down to the text-menu based installer to request language and 
keyboard, then the "welcome to the installer" screen would appear, 
clicking "OK" would bring you to the error display.

However, downloading a new .ISO, verifying its checksum and burning a new 
installer CD rectified the problem...
