This is what I see in text-mode: Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (innermost last) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/threading.py", line 376, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress.py", line 16, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1252, in doInstall self.writeConfiguration () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1065, in writeConfiguration self.writeNetworkConfig () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 531, in writeNetworkConfig ip = self.network.lookupHostname() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 140, in lookupHostname self.primaryNS = isys.pumpNetDevice(dev.get('device')) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 241, in pumpNetDevice return _isys.pumpnetdevice(device) SystemError: (17, 'File exists') And in another console window, I get: ... * copying /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/percraid.o to /mnt/sysimage/lib/modulews/2.2.14-50smp/scsi/percraid.o * copying /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/percraid.o to /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/scsi/percraid.o *self.network.hostname = test.[my domain name] Looks like we quit after the hostname.

Okay, and now for the details on the hardware. The box is a Dell PowerEdge 2400, with a Perc 2/si RAID card, one built-in ethernet card on the motherboard, and 2 additional Intel Pro 100 nics. I did the 'expert' install and fed the installer the appropriate percraid drivers, because 6.2 does not have the drivers for this RAID controller. I also did select the Intel Pro 100 drivers before proceeding with the installation. So the right drivers are there, me thinks...
This problem is fixed in the 6.2 installer update disk available from the errata.
