Had to reinstall RH 7.0 after I had it successfully running for more than 
3 months on a dual boot WinME/Linux harddisk. This time round the install 
was not smooth. Even reformatting the entire hard-disk and trying the 
install program again turned up the same error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just boot of the RH 7.0 bootable Binary CD 1

Actual Results:  The X-install program started fine and worked well until 
the screen when package installation begins. As soon as installation 
begins I get the bug report displayed on the screen and have to reboot the 
system.

Expected Results:  The install program should've normally continued with 
the package installation!

The exact bug-report as copied and pasted...
Traceback (innermost last):
