Description of problem: 
The installer causes a complete system lockup at some random point 
during the package installation process. Even the most minimal 
install with X is large enough to ensure that his lockup always 
occurs before installation can complete. Lockup occurs with both the 
CD set and the DVD (the CD set rarely makes it to disc 2). 
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
Fedora Core 1 
 
 
How reproducible: Always 
 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Select custom install from Fedora Core CDs or DVD. 
2. Select packages to install. 
3. Begin install. 
   
Actual results: 
Whole system lockup at a random point in the middle of "Installing 
Packages" (This time it's frozen on installing emacs. Last time, it 
froze on installing OpenOffice.org). The screen freezes and the 
system stops responding to input devices. All disk activity stops. 
 
Expected results: 
OS installs properly. 
 
Additional info: 
Memory has been tested with Memtest86 (approx 10 hrs) & HDD tested 
with "badblocks -w" (2 passes). No errors. APM & ACPI disabled in 
BIOS, so this doesn't seem to be a powersaving-related lockup.
