From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) When the error appeared, anaconda gave me a chance to save the error to disk. I did so, here is the contents of the Anacdump.txt file. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1466, in doInstall self.fstab.makeFilesystems () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 575, in makeFilesystems for (mntpoint, device, fsystem, doFormat, size) in self.mountList(): SystemError: bad argument to internal function Local variables in innermost frame: devices: [('hda1', '/dos', 1, 63, 1229697), ('hda2', '/', 2, 1229760, 842688), ('hda5', 'Swap000', 5, 2072511, 44289)] arch: i386 labels: {} self: <fstab.NewtFstab instance at 820a468> messageFile: /dev/tty5 labelSkipList: [] raid: [] ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> Reproducible: Didn't try This was being installed on an old 486DX2-66 machine. It does not have a built in IDE controller. There were some drivestatus errors during the install as seen on TTY4 I believe. The Western Digital Caviar 21000 drive I was installing it on is quite old, as is the quad speed Mitsumi CDROM drive I am using. This is not a critical error for me. It was more of an expiriment to see if I could install it on such an old machine. I will attempt it on a slightly newer P-133 that I used to have Redhat 6 on.

I have something similar but in i586 (AMD 300).

For the first problem I really have no idea - I've never seen it fail that way. For the second problem report (please open a new bug in the future if your traceback is so different), its fixed by an errata. Look at bug 18032.
What steps are required to reproduce the first issue in this report?
