Description Need Real Name 2001-01-05 13:35:12 UTC
NFS install failed partially into package install.  Tried twice, with both failing at the same point.

Of note, I'm using iso images downloaded in the end of December.  I followed the new readme install instructions for NFS installs that require 
both CD RedHat dir contents to be copied to the NFS partition being exported.  Also note that these same CDs have been used successfully 
for several CD-based installs .... they only failed on the one box we have no CDROM drive and had to use the NFS mount.  Also note that v6.2 
installs successfully using the same NFS mount process ... so hardware compatibility is not an issue.

Below is the text from RedHat install's bug output at time of failure:

Dumpfile from aborted install

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2001-01-09 20:55:43 UTC
This file:

   /mnt/source/./RedHat/base/hdlist

must be viiable to the installer when it mounts the NFS mount point you
specified.  You can see if this is the case by going to VC2 (cntl-alt-f2) when
you get this traceback, and doing an ls of /mnt/source and seeing if you can
find the hdlist.
