From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt) Installation of Fisher to an SMP Pentium III with a DriverUpdateDisk crashes just prior to installation complete. The failure occurs prior to the update of the boot sector but after disk formatting and installation of all packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install using linux dd (or text dd) 2. Insert driver update disk 3. Proceed with installation. Actual Results: Driver update disk inserted and driver loaded (sym53c8xx). Disk(s) formatted and packages installed. Crash occurred after all packages loaded but prior to boot sector update. (Remark: This was a re-installation. On a reboot, LILO came up and the old boot options were available. Of course, were unable to boot because the old installation had been destroyed.) Expected Results: Installation would complete. Driver disk was customized for Fisher - used the same tool to generate disk as that for Red Hat 7.0 (with the kernel specific changes that were necessary). Please see end. The directory kernel/driversscsi is unusual. Would expect kernel/drivers/scsi. Did a character get dropped?
