  Subject: trouble with upgrading rh 6.1 to rh6.2


  Hi all!

  I am having a problem with the redhat installation/upgrade program.  I
have downloaded the iso image for redhat 6.2 for an i386, and copied the
files from the image to /home/redhat.

  Next, I downloaded the rh 6.2 boot disks from the speakup site and created
a boot disk so that I can do an upgrade from the hard disk.

  I created the boot disk by issuing the following command.

  dd if=dtlkb.bin of=/dev/fd0

  I reboot from the floppy I created, and the system starts talking fine, so
I know that is not the issue.  After I select the language and keyboard
type, the system wants me to select where the installation files are.  I
select "hard drive", then tell it where the files are by selecting /dev/hda7
(my /home partition), then I also fill in the "directory holding redhat"
field with "/redhat".

  The system starts to load the 2nd stage ram disk, then gives the following
messages:

  error 2 reading header: Success
  cpio failed on (null): (internal)
  install exited abnormally -- received signal 11

  Then all processes are stopped, filesystems are unmounted and I am told to
reboot my system.  What is going on?  Can anyone help with this?

  Thanks,

  William
