I expect this is a known problem we had found too. The fix was complicated, so
it won't make snapshot 1 but is planned for snapshot 2.


Comment 2 Jane Lv 2008-06-20 07:28:43 UTC
This bug still exists in snapshot2.  

Comment 3 Denise Dumas 2008-06-20 16:28:55 UTC
This BZ has no flags set and no acks at all. Code freeze for the final build of
4.7 is in 3 days. So it is not going to make 4.7, and we'll have to add a releae
note. 

Geoff, did you believe this to be a duplicate of another BZ, and if so, which one? 

Comment 7 Jane Lv 2008-06-24 08:54:00 UTC
Geoff is back to Intel.  John is his replacement. :)

This bug is a duplicate of bug 449356.

We reproduced this issue on Tylersburg-HEDT platform.  GUI installation on
Tylersburg-HEDT works on RHEL4.6 and RHEL5.2.

Comment 9 Jane Lv 2008-06-27 07:25:52 UTC
GUI installation on Intel SantaRosa, Weybridge and Tylersburg-HEDT works well on
RHEL4.7-sp4.
