Description of problem:
I am attaching the anacdump file, but basically the installation is failing 
during the post installation script with a invalid 22 argument.  Not exactly 
sure what that means.  When the machine boots it fails with a non-system disk 
or disk error message.  This machine is brand new, so I was hoping the problem 
was with my configuration.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you activating the device eth1 during configuration?

Comment 3 David Otero 2003-06-12 19:51:10 UTC
I was configuring the machine to use a specific IP address so I setup eht0 to 
that IP address and unchecked eth1.  I did several more re-installations and 
isolated the problem to the network cards as well.  I was able to get the 
machine to boot if I enabled both of them to use DHCP, which is not what I 
want to do.  I am going to try to re-install again, this time giving eth0 an 
IP address and eht1 to use DHCP.  Will that work?

Thanks for the quick response.

I am not sure but I would recommend you try RHL 9 instead as we've fixed alot of
problems since RHL 8.
