Good day, Using a fresh-written SL.53.031809.DVD.i386.disc1.iso linux rescue ends up fast at: running /sbin/loader [loading ata_piix driver] (on the blue screen) loader received SIGSEGV! Backtrace: [0x8048cf4] (several of those, different hex) Install exited abnormally [1/1] blah blah you may safely reboot your system Can anyone else reproduce this? SL4 rescue is fine; SL5.3 not (don't have time to try SL5.2/1/0) The DVD image was downloaded from http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/iso/i386/DVD/SL.53.031809.DVD.i386.disc1.iso and the md5sum is correct. It's the same result on any machine tried with several writ SL5.3 DVDs, so not specific to hardware or DVD. Is there something I can do/try to make it work? (Otherwise have to retain SL4 DVDs for rescue mode) (used yesterday on office SL5.3 Dell laptop to reinstall grub after badness - whew) Grateful for advice. BTW, in the page https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/5x/53/limitations it says "smartctl: The smartctl tool cannot properly read SMART parameters from SATA devices." smartctl for SATA disks looks to work fine on all our SL5.x boxen (the single SL5.2 box requires -d ata, SL5.3 don't, it just works)
