This is a dupe for bug 16686.

Could you please give us step by step instructions on how to reproduce this problem?

The system: Dell Optilpex GXM 5166, the existing OS: RedHat 6.2 with / , /var ,/tmp , /boot  and swap. I intended to install the Redhat 7.0 with / , /boot, 
/usr, /home, /var and swap. During the packages selections the ldap was configured and NIF was enabled. 
This error message was showed at the Installing Packages screen.  After I clicked OK, the system was shut down and reboot itself. On the next try, I 
repeated the same configurations and the installer failed at the same spot with the same error message. Now I am trying to install the system again with 
the same partitions but without ldap, NIF and individule  Packages selection, so far the installer install the packages without any problems. 
WHy?

Correction: not NIF its NFS, sorry the typo.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2000-12-27 17:32:17 UTC
Assigning to a developer.

Looks like bug 16686, has a test case however.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2001-01-11 19:41:41 UTC
Did installing without ldap, NFS, and individual package selection work?

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2001-01-11 19:44:57 UTC
What is the make, model and capacity of the hard drive?

Fixed in internal trees.
