The second install completed with no problems. Was this a CD based installation? Yes, this was a CD based install. I din't use the installer to verify the media on the install that failed. I did however verify the md5sums of both the iso images and the CD media. As a test, I started the installer again, and the media passed the media check. When you dd'd the CD to manually verify its md5sum did you notice a long delay at any point? I'm guessing the delay was the CD drive retrying over and over to read a marginal section of the image. I didn't see any delay in checking the disks. I also didn't notice any disk or cdrom activity when the install stopped. If the problem were related to a problem reading the CD, I'd have expected to hear the CDROM spinning as it tried to read. To me, and this is pure speculation, it appeared that rpm had hung. Aspell had installed, the progress bar (for the package) went to 100 percent. That is where it stopped, as if the aspell rpm transaction had hung. It never indicated it was attempting to install the next package. I can try a few more installs letting the installer verify the media if you like. This is a test machine and isn't used for day to day activities. I understand what you are saying - we haven't had a report of aspell hanging like you are describing. Did you install in English, and choose English as the default language? Yes, I installed in English, and chose English as the default language. Have there been other reports of hangs during the package install phase? I've now completed an additional 5 installs from the same media (on the smae machine) without any issues at all. Unless others have seen the installer hang during package installation, I'm inclined to consider this unreproducable. I understand - I hope it continues to not be an issue. I've dealt with alot of issues related to CDs and CD drives - they can be frustrating at times. |

'top' reported 99.6 percent CPU usage by anaconda. It remained this way for over an hour. The machine was not hung, as the shell on VT2 remained usable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. Currently attempting re-installation. 2. 3. Additional info: Attaching copies of the anaconda logs as requested by Matt Wilson.
