installing RH 7.1 works fine.
 
When I try to install from the SGI boot CD the install will fail.  I have tried increasing the swap space to 2047, I have selected a very minimal installation (NFS and Samba only)  and the installation still fails. 
 
After the X server starts during install I get the following messages when the installation dies:
python: header.c:241: regionSwab: Assertion `ie.info.type .= 0 && ie.info.type ,= 9` failed.
install exited abnormally

        /mnt/pts
        /proc
you may safely reboot your system
 
 
The hardware is an Intel SBT2 server board with dual 1 Ghz Xeon proc, 2 x 256 MB Kingston memory.  
 
Any ideas as to what to try??  If you need addational info or want me to try something please let me know.
