RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:

Downloaded RHEL 6 Beta x86_64 DVD ISO is not working. First, media test is generating error even though the media is ok - free of damages/scratches, done on tested DVD burner, repeated three times with the new ISO download. Same result.

Media check tries, but it doesn't always work.  Before we even have a hope of debugging this, though, we need the contents of /tmp/syslog attached to this bug report.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

I would like to attach /tmp/syslog but how can I get it?

If anaconda offers to proceed in spite of failed check, and doesn't crash by the time stage 2 is loaded, you can then go to virtual terminal 2 (ctrl+alt+f2), and use scp to copy the file, or copy it to local removable storage.

If you can't go past the failing media check, snapshot of virtual terminal 4 (ctrl+alt+f4) can be useful.
