During installation of rhel 5.2 server x86_64 GA in a vm 3 out of 99 installs got the following error: python: Modules/gcmodule.c:379: move_unreachable: Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs > 0` Screenshot uploaded. This has been seen with yum: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=1780&forum=27

I'm going to reassign to anaconda (more because I think those developers will be more likely to have seen problems like yours, and that the problem is theirs) ... but I'd generally suggest you check media and HW.
That should be "than the problem is theirs". In other words I don't think this is an anaconda bug (or a python one), but the anaconda developers are more likely to have seen bugs like this and might be able to offer some insight.
Could we also see tty3 to see what step in anaconda we're at?
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the issue if it is still present. Since it has been thirty days or more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in the current RHEL release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to "CLOSED: INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still experience this problem after updating to our latest RHEL release and can provide the information previously requested, please feel free to reopen the bug report. In addition, if you test this again to attach the needed information, it's worth testing with the latest snapshot of 5.3 to verify whether it's still broken there. James - it seems to me that this is neither a bug in yum nor in anaconda, but in a library that yum uses. Perhaps libxml2 or sqlite (does yum in 5.2 even use sqlite?). Thank you in advance.
