From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Description of problem: When reinstalling RH7.3 on a machine I previously had problems installing RH on, in fact ive installed the same distribution from the same installation disks on this machine 3 times now... the machine hangs after selecting packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select packages 2.When Anaconda starts configuring it crashes Actual Results: An unhandled exception occurs. Traceback (innermost last) File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 633, in ? intf.run(id,dispatch,configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py",line 353, in run self.icw.run(self.runres,configFileData) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2676, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 529 in handleRenderCallBack Self.currentwindow.rew . . .

Additional info: I believe the problem might be a new Memorex Thirty-two max CDR that I am using to read the installation disks from. Is there anyway besides swapping the CD drive to remedy this situation?
The bad blocks check found bad blocks on the drive being tested - the installer crashes because it did not handle that exception correctly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 66181 ***
