This looks like the error I get also. Installing 7.2 on a 486DX4-100 with 64M ram, 6G HD, Trident video. Install process goes to varying points, then fails with the bug window. I will attach my dump file.
Created attachment 40671 [details] Dump file from 486-100 install failure
Could you please save the errors to floppy and attach all the error output?
mlay, the following section of your traceback makes me think you have either a bad cd or a bad cdrom drive. Did you check the md5sum of the ISO? <4>hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hdb: ATAPI reset complete <4>hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy } <4>hdb: ATAPI reset complete <4>hdb: irq timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy } <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 782820 <4>hdb: status timeout: status=0xc0 { Busy } <4>hdb: drive not ready for command <4>hdb: ATAPI reset complete <4>hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hdb: ATAPI reset complete <4>hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hdb: ATAPI reset complete <4>spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
