From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: When trying to install 7.3, when I got to the second CD, it would crash and identify itself as a bug. This happened several times. The bug was copied to a floppy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start install 2.Let 1st CD finish 3.install 2nd CD 4. stops in the middle with an error Actual Results: I let anaconda copy the bug message to a floppy. I restarted the install 2 more times and had the same error. I then tried to install using a SGI XFS 1.1 install disk, which in turn uses the 3 RedHat 7.3 disks, and the install succeeded. Expected Results: The install should have completed.

Please test your CDs following these instructions: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
Sorry, I forgot to mention that before I burned the CD's, I checked the MD5 sums, and also ran the 'linux mediacheck' on all three of my CD's. The MD5 sums were identical, and all three disks passed mediacheck. RK
These errors: <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 1290980 <4>hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hdc: ATAPI reset complete indicate the drive was not able to read the CD during the install. Since the install program accesses the drive differently than the mediacheck, sometimes it will pass the mediacheck and fail during an install. I would recommend trying a different CD drive.
Thanks for your comments. This was the second CD drive I tried. The first would always hang the install when trying to load the timidity rpm. Please read the notes above. I was finally able to install 7.3 with the SGI XFS 1.1 installer CD, and I used the same CD ROM drive, and the same 3 RedHat 7.3 CD's. I am not sure what is different between the SGI installer and the RedHat installer, but the SGI installer works and the RedHat does not.
Good to hear.
