Description Paul Gallagher 2002-10-07 21:21:37 UTC

Description of Problem:

GUI installation crapped out twice. System messages included one screen 
which read that the ATAPI CD was 'busy' -- looked as if it was continuing 
to poll the device, which wasn't responding. On another system message 
screen (F6?), I found the following:

(anaconda:99): GnomeCanvas_CRITICAL**: file gnome-canvas-path-def.c: Line 
1142 (gnome_canvas_path_def_any_closed): assertion `path!=NULL' failed


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


How Reproducible:

Sorry; don't know, aside from running installation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:

Have you checked your media following the instructions at
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html

Comment 2 Paul Gallagher 2002-10-07 23:07:18 UTC

Yes, I did a mediacheck on Disk 1, and no problems were reported.

As an addendum, the third installation was successful.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-10-08 02:41:17 UTC

Guessing it was just a sporadic read failure, then.
