From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I'm trying to install the Redhat AS 3.0 on Intel platform and it hangs on disk 2 when installing the zlib rpm, we tried our second set of disks and it's the same problem, so it appears to be a bad distribution. I would like to get the disk that works, and verify this is a known issue. I only know that file is corrupt on Disk 2, and Disk 1 is fine. I don't know if there are more files on Disk 2 that are bad, or on disks 3,4,5,..... etc. I would like to download the corrected software on ISO to expedite the installation I'm working on, otherwise I have to test by not selecting products that require zlib. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat as 3.0 and zlib 1.1.4-8.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Full install or install which will install Zlib. Actual Results: Same error, same place, same same everything. Expected Results: NA Additional info: I've classified this as high because the media is bad.

FWIW, problems like this are usually flakey hardware and/or media. You might try a different CDROM and/or verifying your media is ok by installing on another machine. It's unlikely that the zlib on the distributed iso is actually bad.
Please reopen this bug if you can point more directly at what exactly is failing here. zlib itself should be fine, so I am closing this report here.
