Created attachment 83826 [details] Crash dump from installation of Linux 8.0
What processor is in this system? Also, you need a minimum of 64M to install Red Hat Linux.
This is 586/133 with 28 meg of ram system, I don't need to run GUI. The warning message I got right before it crashed was "No kernel packages were installed on your system. Your boot loader configuration will not be changed". I am sure that I selected to install the boot kernel.
When package dependencies are checked this message is shown after every package check "requires kernel which we don't have". I chose the Server package configuration and then added some more packages. Why does it not install the kernel? Recreated this whole thing 3 times.
Minimum requirements are a Pentium class processor and 64M of RAM.
