Here's the deal: I'm creating a custom dist to put our product and a stripped-down RedHat system onto a box with a one-disk install. We require a custom kernel (we add a few things that even RedHat doesn't). I've built and tested a new kernel using src rpms and the like, and tossed it into the RPM repository for my dist-in-training (I'm doing network installs for now to save on CDs). I also had to build/find mkinitrd and grub, among others. In any case, it seems that when I try to install using the new kernel, the install seems to copy over most of the system, but fails at the end. I get a corrupted version of the final screen (the pre-reboot one). Over the ncurses, I see: pmio_internal.h:235: fdGetFp: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0x04463138' failed. install exited abnormally -- received signal 6 sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done
