Do you have at least 64M of RAM? This is the minimum requirement of 8.0. Have you ever felt dumb for not reading all the requirements? I now do. I will throw another stick of RAM in tomorrow and give it another shot. Do you mind if this is kept open one more day? Not sure what your required closure time is. I have changed the severityto normal. Issue resolved. Again, sorry for the unnecessary ticket. Thanks, Tait This appears to be a duplicate of Bug 76123. The problem is that there is not enough memory to process the transactions that are to be executed by the installer. Anaconda, in GUI mode, requires at least 64M+ of memory and 128M of swap. You can alternatively attempt to install Red Hat Linux 8.0 in text mode by specifying "linux text" at the SYSLINUX prompt upon first boot. Anaconda, in text mode, is more lenient on memory resources. |
