Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 65196
Installer found exception when performing postinstall
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:42:40 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Installed RedHat 7.3 using HPT37x RAID drivers: "expert text updates." Anaconda settings were changed, and the postinstall *only* crashes if the updates were previously applied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot off of HPT37x boot install disk 2. Load driver from driver disk 3. Load updates from driver disk 4. Install packages from local CDROM Actual Results: Dialog box appears: asking to quit, save back trace, or debug. Install terminates after selecting an option. System must then be rebooted, and new installation is not bootable. Expected Results: postinstall should have completed, GRUB boot loader written correctly, and boot disk creation screen should have appeared. Additional info: An "independent developer," rather than HighPoint Technologies, apparently wrote the HPT37x RAID drivers. The bug occurred when installing on integrated HPT370 RAID controller on Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard. The drivers should work correctly with the 7.2 installation, however. I recommend checking compatibility with 7.3

So you did not use a boot image provided by Red Hat?
I did use a boot image... However, I believe it was provided by High Point Technologies. This issue may be best resolved by their developer.
Unfortunately we cannot support their boot image. I hope they are able to assist you.
