Can you provide the complete traceback you received?
Hello, Are you able to provide explicit instructions on extracting the complete traceback? I have re-typed the information from a remote console screen. I am able to provide screen shots if you have an ftp site for upload. Robert Staley 602.206.2039 WellsFargo Bank
Screenshots may be attached to this bug report. You can get the dump file by switching to tty2 (ctrl-alt-f2) when the traceback dialog pops up, then copying /tmp/anacdump.txt to another machine. You should have networking set up by the point.

The problem with the RH3 Update 5 issue as stated was an issue with the original negotiation of the nwtwork switch port. Half duplex negotiation would not allow the NFS mount sucessfully. Once the port setting was corrected the issue no longer existed. Thank you, Bob
