Description Need Real Name 2000-10-19 13:09:41 UTC
My system reported an error when trying to upgrade RedHat Linux 6.0 
(Hedwig) to 7.0. I downloaded the /RPMS and /base directories to 
my /dev/hda8 (approx. 2gig) partition. I added the /dev/hda8 partition 
later then the original install for storing media files. I ran install and 
after checking installation and checking installed packages it crashed 
with the following error message, asking me to report it. 

I run a Cyrix 6x86 - 300 Mhz, 64 MB ram, onboard video controler, WD 26000 
(+/- 6 gigs.) and two ethernet controllers.

The following error dump was put on a disc:
