You are probably out of disk space. I have 18G free, so I'm not out of disk space. The last message on VT1 is: Error loading new keyboard definition There is no shell running on VT2.

Stick CD1 in and try to upgrade my system :-) Additional info: I verified all 3 CDRs, so it's not a media problem. I don't know where to look - any suggestions?
Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help?
> Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help? Yes ... and no. One system upgraded fine with the additional option. Another (actually the same system, with a different hard drive) still reported an error in transferring the install image. On that system, VT2 showed: -/bin/sh: relocation error: -/bin/sh: symbol, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference I tried that one again without "allowcddma" and it showed the same error message on VT2 (instead of shell prompt), so I assume that is another problem.
I try to install Fedora Core 1 without upgrading my system and I have the same problem while anaconda trasfering the install image :-(. How I can do to step this problem? :\
"linux allowcddma" worked for me. What's the cause?
This was caused by a kernel bug in the Fedora Core 1 kernel that is no longer an issue in newer releases with the 2.6 kernel.
