From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: I encounter two problems when upgrading from RedHat 8.0 to Fedora core 1. Hardware: Dell Inspiron 8000 1400x1050 LCD display ATI rage 128 mobility The problems are: 1. X server fails to start by default. It seems that it does not detect the monitor (DELL 1400x1050 Laptop Display Panel) correctly. Booting with the following option solves this: linux 'resolution=1400x1050' then the X server starts correctly, and the correct monitor can be selected during the install. 2. Installer hangs in pre-install stage. The install mode selected is "upgrade existing system" Finding packages to upgrade and checking dependencies proceeds OK. Then , after starting the actuall install (click 'Next'), the following error message appear: "An error occured transfering the install image to your hard drive. you are probably out of disk space." ...which I seriously doubt If I click 'Next' again after this, I get this backtrace: An unhandled exception has occured. This is most likely a bug.
