Sorry I didn't state the bug fix - I thought I was probably the only one
that didn't know it. However for the others out there who have the problem
- refer the Red Hat site for 7.2 Install FAQ. I got to it through Google by
just seaching on the error message that RH was giving me. - stating RedHat
7.2 as well. BUT before that I reconfigured my computer inside so I only
had 1 hard disk and 1 cdrom on each IDE channel. I could have save myself a
hell of a lot of time by going to Google first off - we learn by our mistakes!
However it is a distro bug and the way to fix it is to type at the command
prompt depmod -ae
That fixes it for good - not just that session.
Hope it helps.
