Suspect is bug in rh9 installation tools, not in rh9 itself.
I installed rh9 in 2 systems, serious troubles arose in both.
One system (Dell PowerEdge 350) rh9 simply cannot be installed.
Currently runs rh7.2, so hardware compatability is not issue.
Installer system runs until after package dependency check, then aborts.
Other system (oem) original CDs would not boot installer system.
On complaint, susbstitute disks supplied by vendor installed correctly.
Now you cannot check badblocks on install of RH9, but you could using
earlier version.
Solution: check badblocks on new disks with older version of
RH, then install new version of RH. Cut one more notch in hat
brim to remember one more irritating detail from experience.
Before too long, your hat will look like saw blade, and you will
forget the meaning of any particular notch.
