Description Martin Zeigler 2011-05-25 00:36:56 UTC 
Description of problem: While installing using the Graphical installer, the installer crashes.  I am able to verify the install.  The installer says the media is valid.  When pressing OK, I got a panic and was dropped to a shell and the system locked.  I tried several more times, without verifying the disk and got the same results.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15


How reproducible: Attempt to install the DVD ISO


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download the DVD ISO
2.Burn the ISO to a DVD
3.Attempt to install from the new DVD
  
Actual results: Crash during install


Expected results: Install completes


Additional info: I ran sha256sum after the download and made sure the download image was correct.  I also verified the DVD during the install.  I have an older Dual Core AMD system, using an NVIDIA 6 series video card.  I am currently running Fedora 13.  I am attempting to install the X86_64 system.

Moving to anaconda.
Can you attach a screenshot of the panic message?
also, how much RAM does that machine have?

Photo of kernel panic on the screen

I could not get a screen shot since the computer crashed, so I took a photo, in case this helps.
Comment 4 Martin Zeigler 2011-05-25 23:16:03 UTC 
My machine has a total of 4GB of physical RAM, but the main board only recognizes 3.5GB of it.

Listing of /tmp

I did not find any log files in the /tmp directory after I rebooted back to Fedora 13.  I attached a screen shot of what I have there.

Second crash

I kept trying and I was able to get a little further.  I was configuring the file systems when I got this kernel panic.  Attaching second screen shot in case it adds something to this.

This was a hardware bug on my system.  Replaced defective part and F15 installs and works fine now.  Please close this issue.
