From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: Ran "linux mediacheck" on all 3 install disks. Continued through the install selecting "Upgrade from RH9" and "Update GRUB". After the "Click to upgrade" and media confirmation, it said "Transferring install image to hard disk". Then an error message after about 1 minute that said, "An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard drive. You are probably out of disk space." The RH9 installation runs on a single partition of 37Gb with a 1Gb swap space. I will attach the anacdump.txt and the dmesg.txt files for your examination. This bug resembles #106965. None of the replies that I tried worked (severn-T3-updates.img). Please let me know what I can do to successfully upgrade to Core 1 from RH9. Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.2-2.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade from RH9. 2. 3. Actual Results: Error message and I believe nothing was written to the disk. My RH9 installation still works perfectly. Expected Results: Upgrade to Fedora Core 1. Additional info: Please see attached text files for error output and system info.
Created attachment 100018 [details] Error message dump. This is what I dumped to floppy at the time of the error.
Created attachment 100019 [details] System info about my current setup with RH9.
Does it work any better if you boot with 'linux allowcddma'?
It completed without a hitch. The progress messages were a little faster as well. Thank you very much.
Okay, kernel bug that's fixed with the 2.6 kernel.
