Have you checked the md5sums of the ISOs? I think you might have gotten a bad download.
The md5sums are fine. They are: 596b1575773e88e066326f6741312a6f seawolf-i386-disc1.iso f27b912299572a542cd663b712444445 seawolf-i386-disc2.iso
In the installer, can you go to VC2 and type 'ls -l /tmp/hdimage/RedHat/base/hdlist2' and see if the file is there. If it is there, what is the size of it?
Used VC2 to look at /tmp/hdimage and found that anaconda had decided to mount the Guinness (7.0) CD image instead of Seawolf (7.1). The workaround is obvious... Anaconda is already mounting lots of CD images looking for the right ISO image. It should probably be modified to verify that it has mounted the correct version. p.s. Another minor bug found. The install claimed I did not not have enough disk space to upgrade all the packages, so I used VC2 to free a lot of space on the root filesystem and selected BACK. Upon selecting OK from the "install packages" menu the second time I got the error: System Error: Trying to mount already-mounted iso image! and worse, it left the my HDs mounted at the "reboot system" prompt so all my filesystems were dirty.
We will consider the idea of trying to verify that the iso image mounted is the right one. Thanks for your report.
