Description Jacob Certain 2008-02-14 20:10:53 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm trying to test RHEL 5.1 on a G3 HP Proliant DL380. It has RHEL 5.1 already on it, but it stopped booting, so I'm installing over it, after reconfiguring the RAID bios.

I'm able to boot from the cd and start the X based installer. When it asks me if I want to put in an installation key, I click no, and the installer crashes, but first asks me to save the log and report it to bugzilla.

This looks to be either a kernel problem, or failing hardware.  From your
description that it stopped booting, I am leaning towards the latter.  The
following messages from your anacdump.txt file indicate this problem:
