Bug 61483

Created attachment 49144 [details]
it's an error trace reported by anaconda when RH7.2 fails probing monitor at setup time

The error report seems truncated - did you attach the entire error report?

Yes I did. Any way I send it again pasted on this email:
File: "anacdump.txt"

Well, I hope you can solve the problem.
Thanks.

It might be possible if there were read errors during the install that the file
would be missing, as the error report says.  Are you doing a CDROM based install?

Yes of course, I'm installing from CD-ROM.

Could you please look at the error log on the floppy disk and see if there are
any errors like:

<4>hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>hdd: ATAPI reset complete
<4>hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>hdd: ATAPI reset complete
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 456424
<4>hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>hdd: ATAPI reset complete
<4>hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

These would indicate a bad CD.  Since the entire error log will not attach to
the bug properly I cannot verify this myself.

No, there are not any of such errors. Moreover the floppy disk just has the 
same content pasted before on this report.
I don't think the problem would be bad CD, since I've installed correctly on 
other machine with Samsung Monitor and video card ATI.
Thanks.

Could you run the command:

rpm -q XF86_SVGA

on the installer system and tell me the output?
