From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Win98; U) Description of problem: When making a boot floppy intaller crashes. If making a boot floppy is skipped then installer says no changes made to kernel and exits (even though a reformatted HD install). Install appears to go correctly up to this step. The same problem occurs if making an upgrade from RH6.2 (to RH8.0). System is a 486-DX66 with 24MB ram (8GB HD). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the install and select the option to make a boot disk. 2. 3. Actual Results: Bugzilla message. Expected Results: A boot floppy should have been written. Additional info: Appears it has do with installing the kernel image. Booting the installer with 'linux rescue' and doing the 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' results in a fail upon reboot with kernel panic and msg "...try init=options".
The Anaconda traceback information that was generated would be helpful in assisting with this bug. However, I can already tell you that your system has insufficient memory for Red Hat Linux 8.0 (please see Bug 76123).
A Pentium CPU is the minimum requirement for 8.0.
