Description Martin Hunt 2001-02-24 00:59:02 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1 i686)


Install goes as usual, until I select my video card (Number Nine Imagine
128).  Then the installer fails and offers to write a dump to a floppy (see
additional information)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start install, select kb, mouse, partitions, etc
2. Select video card
3.  Crashes
	

Celeron 450 on Abit BH-6
256M RAM
Number 9 Revolution IV with 32M
SGI 1600SW LCD display

installing onto an empty 2G partition.  System is currently running RH6.2.
RH7.0 install succeeds, but X server is broken.

output to floppy 133Kbytes.  Here is the beginning and end of it.  I can
send the whole thing if needed.
