On tty2 (ALT-F2), one reads "-/bin/sh: relocation error: -/bin/sh: symbol , version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference" Using the same media, upgrading an Sony Vaio Z600NE (Pentium III-based) was a piece of cake (though the PCMCIA-CD-ROM is no longer recognized). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take an athlon-based system, running FC 0.95 2.

Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help?
Booting "linux mem=64M" and using the graphical installation worked. "linux text mem=128M" or "linux text mem=64M" yielded the same error. Seems to me that "linux text" is somewhat broken (see "relocation error" message above; I only -- and always -- get this with "linux text"). System configuration: AMD Duron 900, 512 MB, ECS K7S5A Mainboard. I'll check "linux allowcddma" on next reboot.
"linux allowcddma text" does not yield to the relocation error. Funny. I didn't try re-installation since I need the system right now; I'll try to empty a partition and test a complete installation.
The relocation error is not dependent on the system being athlon based, I got the same error on my intel system. Also the relocation error doesn't seem to cause the install image transfer error. I still got the relocation error even though I was able to install successfully after adding mem=64M.
