From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: When performing an install on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 the installer crashes, with the last message on the screen "loading Anaconda". The same behavior can be observed under 2.1AS U1 (crashdump available). Text-install has been tried, same results (crash). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anonconda from RHEL 2.1AS U5 CD How reproducible: Always Additional info:
Created attachment 103946 [details] Crashdump U5
Created attachment 103947 [details] Crashdump of AS2.1 (original) different error message
This looks like a high probability of being bad media. Can you try reburning at a slower speed and seeing if that helps?
The second crashdump is from a different media (supplied media kit), the updated media has been used for other installs, md5sums have been checked.
Can you try using ide=nodma? Sorry, the last update got lost somewhere in my mail apparently :/
