From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) I am doing a HD install (downloaded all the install files of the Internet) and booting from a boot disk. After selecting my installation media location (hda5 and RedHat 7.0 directory), everything starts chugging fine... I setup my partitions and hostname, etc... select root password and create a user account, then I'm at the screen where it asks to format the new partitions. I say ok and it barfs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use the ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/ as the installation root (I downloaded all the files and subs under this to my HD). 2.Create a boot disk and boot from it. 3.Select Hard Drive install and select the partion and directory of the media. 4.Select Server Install, partition drive, create root passwd and user account, etc. 5.When you get to the format partitions screen proceed. Actual Results: The install crashed with a runtime error. Expected Results: It should have kept going.

Created attachment 10301 [details] This is the dump file that I saved
Upon renaming of the directory I saved all the install files in, it works fine now. I took the space out ("RedHat 7.0" renamed to "redhat")
Thanks for the feedback. Will note that spaces may not work when specifying the path to the hard drive images.
We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.
Fixed.
Our installer team-lead thinks we should really fix this before next release.
