CentOS - Dec 2008 - Anaconda crash during Centos 5.2 installation.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Centos 5.2 on an "old" machine in graphical
mode (to use
LVM) but anaconda crash.
I made several tries with various installation resquest (the last 
is "Server", "Customize after installation") unfortunately,
it's
reproductible:

Traceback (most recent call first):

    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1018, in nextClicked
    self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext()
RepoError: None

Can somebody tell me where is the problem?
Should I have to report a bug?
On Centos Mantis?
On RH Bugzilla?

Regards,
Alain

You need to supply more information about this "old" machine - that
could be the problem....

As Mark (mhr) mentioned, it might not run on that box. I suggest you
download the "Live CD" for CentOS 5.2 and test it with that. If it
doesn't run on the Live CD, it probably is not going to run on that
box..... GL
