Created attachment 23352 [details]
the error spat out at me to report

Comment 2 Matt Wilson 2001-07-12 13:14:32 UTC
Does booting the installer with "linux ide=nodma" make this go away?  if it
does, once you install run: 

for I in /proc/ide/hd*; do echo $I; cat $I/model; done

and add the results here, please.

I'm inclined to think that you have a bad cd.  The installer is failing to open
the image that makes up the map on the timezone screen.  The only explanation
for this is that the file is damaged on the media somehow.  I recommend
re-downloading the ISO and try again.  Please reopen this bug if it still
doesn't work after you try that.
