From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: After installation of redhat 8.0.93 the installation prompts to create a boot floppy, wich i chose to do. The tool tries to create a boot floppy but afterwards it gives the message: "Your boot floppy appears to be invalid. This is likely due to a bad floppy. Please make sure you have inserted a good floppy in the first floppy drive." I tried different floppies and it always gave me the same error. I know at least some of them are perfect, but still the installer produces the error. I also did 2 installs (same machine), both had the same problem. When i try to boot from the floppy, it seems to load correctly at first, but then stops loading. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install or upgrade to phoebe on my box 2. answer yes to create a boot floppy 3. wait for the error messages Actual Results: Your boot floppy appears to be invalid. This is likely due to a bad floppy. Please make sure you have inserted a good floppy in the first floppy drive. And obviously i can't boot from the floppy Expected Results: I expected to have a good boot floppy Additional info: I posted it in this category because i could'nt find the installation category for beta's please move my post to the right category if there is one, otherwise creating an installation category would be nice
