I currently have a working CentOS 5.6 system on my workstation. Because
CentOS 6 is not yet released, despite the release of RHEL 6.1, I am
attempting to switch to SciLinux 6. As both CentOS and SciLinux are RHEL
clones (and thus relatively hardened production professional distributions,
not enthusiast toys), they should be compatible. I am running CentOS in 32
bit mode, but I am installing SciLinux 6 as 64 bit mode (X86-64) on a quad
core X86-64 AMD workstation, with the intention of loading the full 32 bit
compatibility mode. After manually configuring the network and the drive
layout from a bootable SciLinux 6 X86-64 DVD, the install fails. The error
message indicates a probable bug in anaconda (the RH installer). I have
attached the error output log to this email. Any help greatly would be
appreciated as I need this workstation as both a general purpose machine and
as a test platform for code before loading it on our compute engines.
