From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Since I installed a 120GB Harddrive to my Compaq PIII 700, Anaconda dies during install, just after the "Starting Anaconda" screen. The message is: exec: Permission denied install exited abnormally sending termination signals I passed the Mediacheck! When I use the old 20GB HD, everything works fine, also RH 8 installs fine on the system wit 120 GB. any hints? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda delivered with 9.0 iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert 120 GB samsung HD 2. boot from CD 3. Actual Results: system shut down Expected Results: normal install Additional info:
Did you happen to put the 120GB drive on the same IDE chain as the CD drive?
No, it's on the other one. I also tried RH 7.3 without installation problems.
I do not know of any reason this should not work. I have not tested a Samsung drive specifically, but we do alot of test installations on a variety of IDE hard drive configurations. The problem is reading a binary from the CD and the exec is failing. You may want to try a hard drive based install instead.
