Exception occured during the post install thought it was fixed but I guess not anyways I would like to see the x86_64 version of Fedora running on my AMD64 Note that this was with the GUI install I will try the text install next :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go through install process in graphical mode 2.install packages 3.watch Exception Occured Message pop up Actual Results: install stops unable to boot operating system Expected Results: install completed boot into Fedora Core 2 Additional info: text of message: "Exception Occured An unhandled exception has occured.

ok sorry to say almost same results for the text install: "File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1131, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 475, in run dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 1125, in doPostInstall devnull = os.open("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR) OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/dev/null'"
I am having the exact same problems with the Fedora Core 2 installation.
See bug number 124029. The work around for me was to use linux mem=256M when installing. My HW MB: Tyan Tomcat K8S(S2850G2N) Processor: AMD Opteron 146 (2GHz) RAM: 1 GB HD: Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM IDE ULTRA ATA 133 Maybe it's a problem with x86_64 systems with more that X MB of memory where X > 256M.
