Yes, the full anacdump.txt would be very helpful
Created attachment 92505 [details] Installer dump file As requested - full anacdump.txt
This is an odd error related to the failure to close a file on the hard drive - since we do not support the third party driver disks you are using it may be worth contacting the vendor who supplied them. I have not seen this error reported before for systems not using this driver disk. It would be interesting if you can do a test install w/o using the driver disk if possible.
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have additional information to add to this report.
Was unable via a variety of means (with/out drivers etc) to do a normal upgrade. Did eventually get to RH9 by effectively doing a fresh install - which worked with only minor problems (lost boot sector, driver libs all screwy - about 5 - 10 minutes of fixes). Then modified conf files as necessary from backups.
