Red Hat 6.2 beta (6.1.92) does not initialize swap partition on a new installation. Used 'text' install mode, tried to install the OS on a two IDE hard disk system. Used fdisk for partitioning, removed all old partitions, created four ext2 filesystems (two on both disks) for the OS and 256 MB swap partition on the first disk. Installer crashed after formatting ext2 partititions and when initializing and creating swap partition /dev/hda3. Showed that dummy debug window with some python/anaconda error messages.

Need details of the python exception which you are getting. This is really the only way to know what is going on and to attempt replicating the problem in the lab.
Unfortunately that 2 IDE disk system is now up and running RH 6.1. Cannot try installing RH 6.1.92 into it any more. I'll try finding some equal system to try this again. When installing RH 6.1.92 on a single IDE disk system from a scratch it looks installing fine. Perhaps there was some hardware problems in the first system I tried or there's some problems installing RH on such 2 IDE disk system. BTW, the size of /dev/hda (primary IDE master) was about 4GB and /dev/hdb (primary IDE slave) was about 2GB. ATAPI CD-ROM was found at /dev/hdc (secondary IDE master). Perhaps you could try it out in your lab as well. Regards, Jussi, jt
