From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh; U; PPC) The 'anaconda' installer sucks! Consistently, about 60% of the way through an upgrade from 6.2, in 'text' mode, I get the following message: An internal error occured in the installation program. Please report this error to Red Hat (through the bugzilla .redhat.com web site) as soon as possible. The information on this failure may be saved to a floppy disk, and will help Red Hat in fixing the problem. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 528, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1126, in run ...of course, I can't save this to a floppy disk, the machine is a server with no floppy drive attached. I love the buttons at the bottom: "OK", "Save" and "Debug". An installer that crashes is not okay! Where is the "This sucks!" button? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go into text mode 2.choose 'upgrade current installation' 3.select 'no' to avoid customizing the package installation over and above the already installed packages 4. installer crashes 60% of the way through.

I am a paying customer!
Can you press <Ctrl><Alt><F3> and <Ctrl><Alt><F3> and see if there are any error messages on these screens? They might give us some idea of what went wrong.
Also, the traceback that you sent in doesn't look like the entire thing. Was there more to it?
