From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: Both full 7.2 install as well as upgrade to 7.2 from 7.1 fail at the point when it is time to actually start pulling in RPMs from the CD (not a network install). The error box that popped up indicated this was an anaconda problem and to file a bug report. A quick perusal of existing 7.2 anaconda problems shows several similar-sounding issues. Other reports failure points during install that appear to be somewhat different from the one I'm experiencing. At this point, we're unable to install or upgrade to 7.2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Fresh 7.2 workstation install, or 7.2 workstation upgrade from 7.1. Actual Results: Info collected by installer. After disk formatting, install aborts reporting an anaconda error. Pls see attached dump.

Did you download the ISO images or did you buy the retail box set? If you downloaded the ISOs, did you check the md5sum of the ISO images before you burned them to cd? It looks like you could have bad cds.
This install was performed with copies of retail CDs. We will reattempt with the original retail CDs, and post results.
Follow-up info: using a fresh set of retail CD's, the 7.2 install/upgrade went smoothly, and with no problems. We'll conclude that the copies of retail CD's we tried previously were somehow corrupted. Thanks for the help!
