Description Clay Jones 2005-03-15 23:31:35 UTC

Description of problem:
Installation of Fedora Core 3 Linux distribution failed even though 
the computer system indicated that the new hard drive is working 
properly. I was attempting to install this operating system on a new 
harddrive 
 
An error/bug was displayed at the beginning of the installation 
process when I tried to make selections when prompted.
 
Error/Bug Message that appeared at the beginning of the installation 
process: error: Bug: Assertion (heads <256) disk_dos.c:486 in 
function probe_partition_for geom () failed.
 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible: Easy---every time I try the installation.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert Fedora Core 3 Linux Distribution DVD in DVD drive 
2.Reboot Computer
3.Hit Enter to Start installation process and follow instructions
  
Actual results: 
Installation of Fedora Core 3 Linux distribution aborted. Detailed 
explanations were provided in a dialog box when the installation was 
aborted just after all the selections were made and the harddrive 
installation was about to begin. 

Sample Message - File "/usr/src/build/475969-
i386/install//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py " , line 1074, in handle 
RenderCallback self.current Window.renderCallback () 

The error message at the end which relates to all 7 of the sample 
messages that I can send if needed was -  error: Bug: Assertion 
(heads <256) disk_dos.c:486 in function probe_partition_for geom () 
failed.
