Description Invoker 2000-10-15 00:30:06 UTC
I have a hp pavilion 6370 computer.  Has 600 mhz cpu intel 810 chipset 10 
gb hd.  When I ran anaconda to install, even though it says before loading 
anaconda ps/2 mouse found, my mouse is frozen on the screen and i can't 
continue the installation.  (my mouse works fine under redhat 7.0)
Then i ran text mode inst. and during the bootup kernel commands screen i 
hit f1 to receive help, (i have lba enabled for my hd) after waiting for 
about 3-4 minutes with my harddisk struggling, i received the message an 
error occured aborting installation, report the bug to redhat (or 
something similar).
I queried the bugzilla but couldn't find any bugs referring to these 
issues.  If they are already reported, i apologize.

If you don't hit F1 for help how far can you proceed into the text mode install?

Actually, on my other attempt at installation, the mouse worked fine.  I have no
idea why it didn't at my first install.
The text mode install is okay.  If I don't hit the F1 key at that point, I can
finish the installation without any problems.  The F1 works fine for other inst.
steps.

Do you have a Microsoft Intellimouse or any other kind of wheel mouse?
