Description of problem:
Attempt to install RH 7.2 on a 40 gig IDE drive failed at disk partitioning
step.  Tried many permutations of install menus leading up
to that point.  Suse linux installed ok on the same drive.  RH installed
ok on a smaller drive.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No special procedure.  Many variations of install menu
selections tried, all failed.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-06 18:23:59 UTC
This looks like a problem related to getting read errors from the install CD.
Have you checked the md5sum of the images?

Comment 2 Brock Organ 2002-05-07 13:15:47 UTC
Here is additional information supplied in an email by the bug reporter :).

Here are the checksums.  I don't see any reference values to compare them
with.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-09 19:00:57 UTC
I'm sorry - did you burn these CDs yourself?  If you did, please compare the
md5sum of the CDs against the values in the directory where you downloaded the
ISOs from.
