When installation of redhat 7.1 was going to finish,it told me to save 
this to a floppy disk.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Comment 1 Mike Fletcher 2001-04-29 19:12:41 UTC
Happened to me on i386 doing an upgrade from 7.0.  Saved file to floppy disc also.  Can submit file if needed.  Mike.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-04-30 15:10:03 UTC
What are the steps required to reproduce this?

Comment 3 Mike Fletcher 2001-04-30 21:37:58 UTC
It would consistantly (3 tries) bomb out of the upgrade from 7.0 on the 
following system:

AMD K6/2 350MHz
Freetech P5F103 Motherboard without audio chipset (don't have the BIOS version 
handy)
    Ali/Aladdin V Chipset
3dfx Voodoo3000 PCI video card
IBM 10GB as hda (with 7.0 installed)
    hda1 256MB swap
    hda2 15MB /boot
    hda3 (remainder of 10GB) /
ATAPI cdrom as hdc
Trendnet 10/100BaseT PCI network card
Soundblaster PCI128 sound card
