Probably the buggiest install script ever written. Rarely works correctly since Redhat 6.

This is most likely because of an error in the fileutils RPM in the hard drive install image. Please check that the fileutils RPM is intact, and present. If so, please run the md5sum command on the file and I will check it is ok.
Reopened reportedly 'resolved' bug18136 - with checksig & md5sum info for openssl.
I tried to install the RH7. I have RH6.2 and I attemtped it to RH7. I boot from floppy and select the FTP upgrade. Then the anaconda wrote to console "...anaconda... terminated with signal 12. ...Reboot system." The machine was a iPI200MMX/16MB EDO RAM. I tried the installation on an "AMD K6-III/128MB SDRAM" from ATAPI CDROM. The installation (upgrade) worked correctly.
This occurs when there is something corrupt about the downloaded hard drive image. We've done numerous hard drive installs w/o seeing these issues. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18019 ***
From looking at usenet, I know that anaconda errors of this nature have been widespread and frustrating to many people. If the root cause is simply a bad image, though, then the fix is easy - just try downloading it again. That worked for me, finally.
