Looks like the cd could be bad. Do you see any error messages on VC3 or VC4?
05/16/01 update... tried again last night to install and it worked with no problems. I have been doing a custom install and picked the same packages and the same partition setup as last time. The only difference between the two installs is: during the first install, when anaconda asked for the second cd, I put it in the tray and closed the drawer but clicked the ok button too soon. I got an error box saying the cd was not mounted. It gave me back the box to check when I was ready and I clicked on it, and it seemed to mount it ok. It installed some packages after that before it stopped. This time I waited for several seconds before I clicked the ok button. The cd mounted right away this time. Could there be a problem with anaconda recovering from an unmounted 2nd cdrom? BTW these cdroms I am using are ones I got from you guys at Redhat, they are not ones I burned from downloaded images. I am now going to try upgrading a 7.0 install with these cd's since a friend at work tried that and it failed for him. Maybe my cd's will work.
That's strange. From the initial debug message, it seems clear that the installer is having trouble reading the cd. That can mean a couple of different things...one is that the cd itself is damaged (corrupt, scratched, dirty, etc). It can also mean that there is something wrong with the cdrom drive itself. I'm not sure if clicking the OK button too quickly causes problems or not. I'll have to check that out.
Workaround: do minimal installation with only packages found on 1st disk. Then install packages by hand. A real pain, but....
Since the install worked with the same disks on the second attempt, I'm going to resolve this bug. However, if you see the behavior reappear, please reopen it.
