Description Xander D Harkness 2009-04-02 13:38:18 UTC

Description of problem:
During the install after selecting keyboard Anaconda searches for storage.  The installer hangs.
This is on a laptop without a floppy drive.
I get the following error on the console: 
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
<3>end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 1
up to 7 then back to 0 again.


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

Cannot see an option to output anaconda version on the command line and it is not installed...

Steps to Reproduce:

This should be fixed in post-beta rawhide.  Thanks for the bug report.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:05:55 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
