[PLUG] rh install on a poweredge 4300

[Fred K Ollinger <follinge@sas.upenn.edu>]

I need to upgrade rh 6.2 up to rh 7.2 on a dell poweredge 4300. No secret
that I'd rather put debian on there, but this is for work, so please, I'd
like help mostly for the rh gurus out there.

The installer for 7.2 (enigma) boots fine until it begins anaconda. Then
it hangs. I checked errata, but it's not there. I'm going to file a bug
report if someone else can reproduce this.  I checked their errata page,
and this is not listed as a problem. I even used their updates floppy,
trying:

linux updates text expert

at the boot prompt in order to turn as much fancy stuff off. (I don't want
my hand held, I just need to install.)

The same cdrom worked great in five other dell computers, none of them
were poweredge 4300, though. Oh, also, the rescue component of the same cd
worked great so I know that this is an ananconda problem.

Can someone w/ rh experience please give me some clues as to what I can do
next except complain to rh (which I will do if this is indeed to an
incompatability).
