From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: When I try to install FC1 I get this message that I'm probably out of disk space when the installer is trying to transfer the install image. I have checked the MD5 sum of the images and thereafter checked the CD:s themselves before install and it all passed. I have a fairly complex partition table (see attached output from fdisk -l) When I come to the screen where the installer asks me how I want to partition, I choose to do it manually then I set /boot on /dev/sda1, / on /dev/sda2 and swap on /dev/sda3. Also do note that this computer does not have any IDE disks. /dev/hda is a DVD+RW and /dev/hdc is a CD-ROM Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to install

Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help?
Yes, this seems to remedy the problem
I encountered this problem with the DVD version of Fedora Core 2 Test 3. I didn't try installing with that command line switch, though. This needs to be addressed!!
I just tried with the FC2 DVD to update my intallation, it passed the step of transfering the install image without problems.
