From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: After installation had terminated for n times, I added a bad block check for all partitions (took almost 3 hours, therefore no reproducions). When check finished, the installation crashed and prompted for a floppy to save the dump. Tried once more with a check only for boot and swap partitions. Check finished OK, installation started. Remains to be seen what happens next... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1.During installation, check all HD partitions to be checked for bad blocks. 2. 3. Actual Results: HD check ran nicely, after which the installer crashed (prompted for floppy to store the dump). Expected Results: After some time I should have had a nice installation of RedHat on my old computer... Additional info: The computer is rather old AMD K6-333. The HD is about 2 years old, 20 GB IBM something, without any bad areas AFAIK. Motherboard is something weird, even the manual doesn't mention the brand or manufacturer. Voodoo 4500 32Mb video card. In Win98 use it was unstable as what, but that doesn't say anything...
