Created attachment 96887 [details] Anaconda dumps on network ftp install, after disk formatting step This bug sounds close to my encounter. A boot.iso dated 1/11/2004 was used to perform a fresh install. All went well, until the save problem to disk portion of the install. A previous installation using a boot.iso created on 1/5/2004 went sucessfully. This disk would not install, therefore, the new boot.iso was created and used.
Created attachment 96889 [details] full install selection - some directories chosen. see ls output for / the following directories were created before the core dump. boot was empty, but was formatted. boot etc proc sys var dev lost+found root tmp Several other mounting points were added and also were listed.

Building a new rpm with this fixed now.
