Hmm... the sha1sums check out for all 5 CDs. And I used the
same boot CD on another computer and it worked fine there.
So my boot CD and hard drive iso images both check out.
I've tried the installation 2x with the same results on that
computer. Unless somebody wants me to try to something
else, I'll probably just wait for test3 and try again, but I think
something other than a bad iso image on my disk is to blame.
Two questions: Are you using the iso images directly from the hard drive
that you are using for the install? Have you tried a text mode install?
I'm not sure what your first question means, but I think the answer is yes.
My images are on hda3 in the tmp directory and that's what I specify
after booting from a CD with the first disk image and using "linux
askmethod".
I tried a text install today and it worked, but came up in text mode after
the install and system-config-display failed with symptoms similar to
the failure during the install. I can send the X log to you if you want.
The tail of it is pasted below.
Thanks...
