From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030728 Description of problem: When I went to install Severn on my home computer, I had left the third CD at the office. The installation hung the computer so hard that it required a power cycle to recover. The expected reaction is to either abort the install (and offer to reboot) or to proceed with the install, but having some packages/features missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt installation of Severn 2.Discover that third CD is missing 3. Actual Results: Computer hangs seriously. ctrl-alt-delete doesn't reboot. Shift-ctrl-backspace doesn't cancel X. (Actually, I believe that almost immediately I started getting the beep that indicated that keypress events aren't being cleared from the queue.) Expected Results: Installer should either: 1) have informed me that this was a non-recoverable error, and offered to reboot the computer or (preferably) 2) have offered to continue with an install that was missing some of the requested features. Additional info: This was a dual processor AMD system.

This is a bug in our build tools, and should be fixed in our next build if our fix is correct...
The problem still occurs: $ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.21-1.1931.2.389.ent $ modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE /lib/modules/2.4.21-1.1931.2.389.ent/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

did this get fixed in later kernels ?
DaveJ, I don't know. DaveM, can you shed any light on this? In particular, do have the same bug in RHEL3 at this point? Thanks in advance. -ernie
If you load iptables you cannot load the ipchains modules, and vice versa. You have to choose to use one or the other. Something in his messed up half-install has created a situation whereby both ipchains and iptables is trying to be used at the same time. I don't understand why this bug report is even being seriously considered, the install died so just about any kind of garbage can be on the system causing who knows what kinds of problems.
Please assign this to someone else, it's not a kernel bug.
Jeremy, could you please reassign this bug appropriately? Thanks. -ernie
Closing, please reopen if this persists on current Red Hat Enterprise Linux update releases.
