From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: WHen I try install on my P2 400 with 64 MB of RAM and a 20 GB HD. I get can seem to make it into the the actual install part before I get the attached error in text mode. The funny part is that I only get the error if I do it in text mode if I do it in the redhat GUI I stall at the white red hat slash screen BUT if I don't have my HD attached to the box I won't get that stall. I looked up the error code in the knowleage base but the closest thing said I was setting the / directory above 2,047 MB. I even tried setting the / partition down to 500 MB Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.p2 400 with 20 gig HD 2.just run the installer 3. At componant install I get a error message Actual Results: I can't install red hat 7.1 Expected Results: I should be able to install RH 7.1 Additional info:

Are these cd's that you made yourself? I have a feeling that they may be corrupted. When the installer crashes, press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if there are any error messages related to the cdrom.
I discovered it was the CD-ROM that was having the issue. I put in a diffrent CD-ROM and worked like a charm...sorry to bother you.
No bother at all. Glad to know things are working now. The majority of bug reports we get are bad cds that people have burned.
