From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: This may be similar to bug #32806. I am using a P2-233, 1 CPU, SCSI CD- ROM. It detected the bootable CD, started the installer and had exactly the same error whether I selected GUI or text install mode. After it loaded the AIC driver, it started anaconda, then flipped out with: /usr/bin/python - error loading shared library /lib/libc.so.6 - unexpected PLT reloc type 0x00 The image I used was seawolf-i386-disc1.iso dated 08 Apr 2001 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put CD in drive and reboot 2. Watch it startup and load some drivers (last one was AIC-xxx) Actual Results: Watch it crash and burn, install aborted, system shutdown Expected Results: Installation should have continued, but I have no idea what the next step should have been since I've never been there. Additional info: Do I call this a high severity? There's no data loss, but then there's nothing running at all
Did you try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'? If that doesn't work, look on VC4 and see if there are any error messages there.
Tried again with 'linux ide=nodma' and it booted in graphical mode but had exactly the same problem at exactly the same place. I'd go check VC4 if I knew what it was <grin>.
To get to VC4 (virtual console 4), press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> when the installer has crashed.
