Bug 87701

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
I have tried installing Redhat 8.0 and 7.3 many times but it has failed 
unpredictably at different stages of the installation. Finally even when it 
succeeded it crashed my system many times and I had to uninstall it from my 
system. I gave up thinking the CDs were bad. Recently I tried installing 
PCQLinux a version based on Redhat 8.0 and it gave me the same problem. This 
time it gave me a dump which I saved to a floppy.

The configuration of my system is:
Intel Pentium III - 800 Mhz
Samsung Hard Drive - 20 GB
Samsung CD Drive - 52x
nVidia GeForce2 DDR Pro 32 MB 
Onboard Sound Card
128 MB RAM
Kobian Motherboard


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just try installing Redhat on my System
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  The installation crashed in both graphical as well as text 
mode.

Expected Results:  Redhat should have been installed to the drive

Additional info:
The dump produced by the installer in text mode is pasted below:
