From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: 20mb from end of workstation install the system crashed. MySQL was on the display when the crash occured, but I don't know whether it had started installing and was the cause, or was preparing to install and the previous package was. I had MySQL running OK on my previous install, from the same media, on the same PC etc. Earlier during the installation I had an error that the install tool couldn't open /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/wvdial-1.41-16.i386.rpm...after clicking retry the install continued OK...don't know if this is relevant. The log file is attached Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:

I've just tried a re-install...same package selection...the install crashed at exactly the same place. I also noticed that I had selected both mysql and mysql-server packages...would this cause the problem? Now trying again using a server-type install, and selected only mysql.
There were read errors from the CD. Test using this: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
Tested CD#1 & 2...both passed for install. Since my previous comment I've tried another install...this time a server-type, with gnome, http, dhcp, dns, ftp, samba, mysql...the installed crashed at exactly the same place again...another dump file is attached. I also got 2 other errors during cd#2 install... - couldn't open /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-9.i386.rpm...I clicked on OK to retry twice and the install carried on - couldn't open /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/xine-0.9.8-4.i386.rpm...I clicked on OK to retry once and the install carried on Please ignore my question re. mysql & mysql-server above...having just started with linux I wasn't up-to-speed...now I now I need both!

I've downloaded the iso for cd#2 again & created a new CD. Install went 100% OK...no errors...rh7.3 now running OK! I guess I did have a dodgy CD, even though the mediacheck passed it as OK!
Glad to hear its working. You'd be amazed how much trouble people have with CDs and CD drives.
