From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916 Description of problem: When installing from cdrom (or hdd), the installer sometimes fails to do something and displays error: Error Installing Package There was an error installing [package name]. This can indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try your install again. Press the OK button to reboot your system. Mediacheck runs without problem on all 3 install cds. I even tryed to run installation from hdd iso images and error remains. Sometimes it shows up at another package... It it possible to provide better error description? I'm not sure what's wrong. Source media? Target hdd? Motherboard? Memory? Karma? ...? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start installation 2. use some hw component that installer don't like 3. watch cryptic error message Actual Results: see desc. Expected Results: show what's really wrong Additional info:
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of information passed up about what the cause is just the symptoms point to one of a couple of things. Does it work better if you boot with 'linux allowcddma'?
I can try to use allowcddma, but installation crashed even if used hdd as source and the same hdd (and another hdd as second try) as destination.
linux allowcddma solved problem. At least I was able to install whole thing. Where can I find all those installer parameters?
