The attached traceback is truncated - we will need the entire anacdump.txt file
to process this issue.

It appears your /dev/hda IDE drive is experiencing read/write errors, causing
the failure.

Could you try booting with ide=nodma appended to the boot commandline for the
installer?

Thanks for the response, but I've since installed slackware on the server
without problem and do not now want to uninstall and try again.
