You still need to submit the full traceback Anaconda generated (it will prompt you to save to a floppy disk). This will be beneficial for further analysis as to what your problem is. Created attachment 89108 [details]
Digital photo of the error generated post-install
Richard sent me this via email. It would seem that the installation had
completed to a point, but failed to properly configure X to work on his
machine.
If you could attach the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log that would help (its mentioned in the screenshot you attached). Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have additional information to add. |
Description of problem: An unhandled exception error occurred, most likely a bug. Most recent call in file /usr/bin/anaconda, line 694, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "usr/lib/anconda/text.py", line 446, in run dispatch.gotoNext(). Could not boot from the rescue boot disk after this crash. I was a dual boot system and Win98SE would no longer boot either Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Happened on 3rd install (first two did not crash). Switched to Mandrake distribution. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Crashed out of installation on 3rd CD and could not recover anything. Boot from rescue disk failed and Win98SE would no longer boot either until I ran fdisk /mbr Expected results: Expected a successful Custom installation of Red Linux 8.0 Additional info: The install CD's and the hard drives accepting the installation were in perfect condition when checked by the Test option in the Text installer.
