From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The installer crashes on my Dell Demenson 8100 when booting into anaconda from CD after the media check stage (while tring to load X). Proving for video card: NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (Generic) Probing for monitor: ViewSonic VA720-2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc2t2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot install CD on the above mentioned system. Actual Results: X oops. Expected Results: ! oops Additional info:
After seeing 107231, I switched from a PS2 mouse to USB and it works fine. It's the same mouse, but I removed the USB to PS2 adapter and plugged it directly into the USB slow. All seem well for now. May be related to 107231, but the hardware is different.

Can you hit ctrl-s right after X crashes and look at /tmp/X.log to see what it says? Also, what do we detect as your mouse type?
I'm having a hard time recreating it. I could recreate it every time before I switched mice. Now that I have switched back (to using the USB mouse via PS2 adapter) I can't recreate it. I promise it was a bug. Is it possable that I have a flaky mouse or PS2 port? Would that be capable of causing the errors I was getting?
It could be flaky hardware, yes.
I was not able to recreate it after the mouse switch so I suppose we can write this one off. Although, I am concerned flaky mouse problem would cause X to crash like that. Anyway, thanks for your input and feel free to close this if you want.
