From the output on VC4, it looks like there were definately problems reading
from the cdrom:

<4>probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-10-23 03:57:59 UTC

But you say the installation finally went ok?  Did you change cd's or anything
else about your setup?

Comment 4 adam.huffman 2001-10-23 13:01:58 UTC

No, I just ran the installation again with the same CDs on the same system.
The first time I had to get the installer to retry on some files several times
but it worked up until the point it crashed.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2001-10-23 15:38:34 UTC

Hmm...I can't explain why it would fail and then work.  If you check the md5sums
of the ISOs, I wouldn't be surprised to see that they weren't exactly right. 
I'm going to close this report since everything seems to be working now.  Thanks
for your report.

Comment 6 adam.huffman 2001-10-23 15:49:44 UTC

I will check the md5sums, but the CDs are from an official boxed set, so I would
have thought they'd be okay.

I reported it as anaconda encouraged me so to do...
