Installation medium in general or literal floppy disk? The installation is run from CD and the machine has no floppy. This happens in both graphical and text mode. I tried custom installation with some extra packages and minimal installation, both crashed. The machine is an ASUS A7V266-EX, Athlon 1300+, 512 MB RAM, no swap. The installation CD passes its own test. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installing 2. Crash 3. Continue cursing the buggiest RH release ever
Can you attach the full dump you received?
What I pasted above is all I have. BTW, installing by FTP worked.
This should be better in fc3.
