Description shane mckinney 2002-09-25 23:26:29 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
Anaconda reported that it had "un-handled exception" towards the end of a 
typical custom installation of 7.3 on a Xeon MP server (right before the prompt 
for creation of boot disc.)  The error message stated that it was probably a 
bug and that a bug report should be submitted against Anaconda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Trenton XPI Xeon SBC in passive backplane with 16 PCI slots and 
Adaptec 2100S RAID controller
2.Boot from the RH install CD and do a custom installation.
3.Watch it fail at end of 2nd disc.
	

Actual Results:  System crashed.

Expected Results:  Should have gotten to prompt for creation of boot disc.

Additional info:

This was the beginning of the dump file:

The error dump is truncated, but the exception is almost always due to bad
install media.
