Description David Sturgis 2002-11-15 19:24:24 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Description of problem:
When inserting the 2nd cd for installation, the error message 
/mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/firstboot-1.0.1-10.noarch.rpm cannot be opened

is displayed. I retry and then it shuts down.
I'm using a Vie/Cyrix platform, the same one Wal-Mart was selling, so it sould 
be compatible. I downloaded and burned the disks using CD Creator. The first 
disk booted fine, the second is having a problem.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot and install in text or graphic mode from cd1
2. I have been choosing the server option with all the defaults for 
partitioning, etc.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The system shuts down. I saved the dump file and can email it 
to someone for analysis.

Expected Results:  COntinue install from disk 2

This is actually an anaconda problem.  Changing components.
Comment 3 Brent Fox 2002-11-15 20:05:57 UTC 
I think that there is an error with the second cdrom.  The kernel is having
trouble reading the data from it, according to the following line from your
attachment: 
<4>hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

Did you run media check on these disks?  I suspect that either the ISO you
downloaded was corrupt or either something went wrong during burning the cdrom.
Comment 4 David Sturgis 2002-11-15 23:06:16 UTC 
I will download or obtain another copy of the ISO image and try again. Thanks 
for the awesome fast response. I'll update this bug message with a status in 
the next 48 hours.

I tried new media (700mb cd copied from RH disk set) and still getting the same 
results. One thing I am noticing is that Anaconda, on the active screen is 
showing firstboot at 332K Bytes while the version on my CD's is 139,960 or 
about 140k bytes in size.

I tried another download of the iso for cd#2 and everything is working fine 
now. Please close the ticket.

Thank You
