There is a squashfs read error soon after the system starts, and things only get worse from there. The installation media is effectively unreadable, which likely means either there was an error writing the media or a problem with the underlying hardware. From the syslog, here's the first one: Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: xz decompression failed, data probably corrupt Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x39b486a4 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [39b486a4] Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 39b486a4, size b0a8 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: xz decompression failed, data probably corrupt Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x39b486a4 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [39b486a4] Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 39b486a4, size b0a8 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop3, sector 9055872 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: xz decompression failed, data probably corrupt Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x39b486a4 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [39b486a4] Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 39b486a4, size b0a8 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop3, sector 9055872 Aug 16 07:49:51 dhcppc0 nm-dispatcher[1606]: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/chrony.sh: line 6: /bin/rm: Input/output error Another user experienced a similar problem: Installing to iSCSI target with 2GB local media, encrypted filesystem, many segfaults in dmesg (libc) addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python3 /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-S-23-x86_64 quiet hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 package: anaconda-23.19.10-1 product: Fedora reason: pyanaconda.bootloader.BootLoaderError: failed to write boot loader configuration release: Cannot get release name. version: 23 Another user experienced a similar problem: Installation to macbook pro Installation alongside mac os x Select manual partioning Select encryption Select btrfs Select automatic layout cmdline: /usr/bin/python3 /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-base cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Fedora-Live-WS-x86_64-23-10 ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 other involved packages: python3-libs-3.4.3-5.fc23.x86_64 package: anaconda-core-23.19.10-1.fc23.x86_64 product: Fedora reason: pyanaconda.bootloader.BootLoaderError: failed to write boot loader configuration release: Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) version: 23 This macbook was happily running Fedora 22. I needed a bigger partition, and decided to shrink my Mac OS X partition and upgrade Fedora to 23. Another user experienced a similar problem: Minimal installation of Fedora 23 with the VM guest agents. KVM-based virtual machine with 30GB virtio storage. Single partition formatted as LVM PV Volume group has the following logical volumes: f23-boot: 1GB, ext4 f23-root: 5GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-root, subvol f23-root f23-tmp: 1GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-tmp, subvol f23-tmp f23-var: 5GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-var, subvol f23-var f23-var-log: 1GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-var-log, subvol f23-var-log f23-var-log-audit: 1GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-var-log-audit, subvol f23-var-log-audit f23-var-tmp: 1GB, btrfs, label fs-f23-var-tmp, subvol f23-var-tmp home: 1GB, btrfs, label fs-home, subvol home swap: 5GB, swap Installation proceeded until the bootloader configuration in the post-install process, then the installer displayed an error indicating the bootloader could not be fully installed and that the system would not be bootable. I reset the system and reproduced the behavior with my next installation attempt. addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python3 /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:UUID=b3ffe1ae-16cd-4af1-8c30-9b8abfe5bb75:/images/install.img inst.repo=hd:UUID=b3ffe1ae-16cd-4af1-8c30-9b8abfe5bb75:/ inst.stage2=hd:UUID=b3ffe1ae-16cd-4af1-8c30-9b8abfe5bb75 rd.live.check quiet hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 package: anaconda-23.19.10-1 product: Fedora reason: pyanaconda.bootloader.BootLoaderError: failed to write boot loader configuration release: Cannot get release name. version: 23 In my case, the following messages appear in the program-log: 20:57:01,970 INFO program: /sbin/grub2-set-default: line 32: basename: command not found 20:57:01,970 DEBUG program: Return code: 0 20:57:01,970 INFO program: Running... grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 20:57:01,979 INFO program: /sbin/grub2-mkconfig: line 42: basename: command not found 20:57:01,980 DEBUG program: Return code: 127 Could it be that the minimal installation doesn't install the 'basename' program, thereby making the GRUB installation fail? I'm going to try again tomorrow and enable the option to install tools that extend minimal functionality in hopes that this option installs the 'basename' program and allows installation to finish.
