From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [ca] (Win95; U) Description of problem: I've tried to select diferent packages and the problem persists. I've tried in a P150 with 49 MB of RAM and with a PIII600 with 256 MB of RAM Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Only start Installation 2. 3. Actual Results: Fatal crash and the system dosen't work anymore Additional info:
Does it crash and give you the opportunity to save the traceback to a floppy? If so, could you attach this traceback?
Created attachment 39627 [details] The file is the core dump of the installation process
Can you try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'? Does that help?
All drives attached in my computer are DMA access capable.That does'nt work!! (The Computer is an Intel Pentium III 600 MHz with 256 MB of RAM. With a 40 GB Hard Disk, and a Sony DVD.)
Oh, I see what the problem is. From looking far down in the traceback, I see the following message: Instalacisn de shadow-utils. unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/login.defs;3bffa710: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch This means that the installation of shadow-utils failed. This package contains the /usr/sbin/usermod command, so when anaconda runs usermod in the post-install script, the program crashes because it can't find the command. I think that you have a bad cd since it appears that the shadow-utils RPM is corrupt on the cd. Please reopen if you see this behavior with different cdroms.
