after rpm grouping (prepare to select packaging), tracebac occurs and
machine reload.  This same problem occurs in 6.2 too.  So I tried 
7.0, same problem still occurs

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 1 scsci hd 1.0G adaptec 2940 and one ide dr 2.6 G
2. award modular bios eisa and pci system board
3. one eisa token ring and one fe 3com 595.  After removing 3com fe, same problem
    still occurs.
4 just follow installation instruction, after setting locale, then packaging grouping starts
after that, the problme occurs
	

Actual Results:  The following traceback occurs

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)

I am using custom install option.  Also I've tried remove all the adaptor cards except the bare
minimun, ie video card and ide card and the problem still occurs.  I've tried with debian
2.0 and had no problem.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-21 19:10:27 UTC
What are you installing from (CD, network, etc)?

Comment 4 Bob Lo 2001-03-22 23:46:14 UTC
I am installing from hard drive.  Originally I have 2 hd, one ide 2.5 G and
the other scsi 1.0 G.  The redhat binary is store 2nd partition of 2.5 G hd.
Its first partition was installed with NT 4.0 terminal server.  I am trying
to install liniux on 1.0 G scsi but failed.  But later I tried removing the
scsi adapter and hd and just partition ide to 3.  And then I tried to 
install linux on the 3rd partion of ide hd still failed.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2001-03-30 21:15:23 UTC
Can you check the md5sums of the isos that you downloaded?  Sounds like
something may have gone wrong in the transfer.
