Description Ken McFarlane 2006-02-10 03:23:12 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
Install crashed with floppy dump.  Tried install again; it worked this time.  Ill attach the dump when i get the email.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

How reproducible:
Didn't try


Additional info:

Prevented installation and made me untrusting of installation.  Maybe re-formatting the boot disk helped the second install attempt go better.

The system I am using is an old (2000) Dell Dimension with an UltraATA PCI card.  I could not install on the original configuration.  The config. that resulted in the bug report had an added IDE drive off the MB, and the /boot partition on that.
