From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I downloaded and the 4 CD's necessary for installation. I had Fedora Core 1 successfully installed. On trying to install Fedora Core 2 I have the following problem (which re-occurs EVERY time (3 in all) I try to install). I have formatted my 20 Giga disk and tried again but still the same problem. I tested all 4 disks and they got the "pass" mark when tested. Everything goes well until the third disk. Somewhere in the middle of the installation there, the computer reboots and doesn't complete the installation. When the computer restarts it says no OS available. If I put the first disk back in, it will appear to reinstall (or repair), asking for the third disk again. This time the installation ends soon and I get grub> after booting. No way can I get past this shutdown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.check the disk I downloaded 2.start computer with first CD in place 3. I choose install everything 4.Everything goes reasonably well 5. Somewhere in the installation of the third disk, the computer reboots. 6. Cannot get past this stage. Additional info: I had Fedora Core 1 installed on that computer and it worked fine.
I have now managed to install Fedora Core 2. The way I worked around the problem described above is by installing teh program by using the "linux text" option. This worked fine. Why the GUI way threw me out on the third disk is still a mystery. Errol
Changing component to something more appropriate...
Could you boot the CD with 'memtest' to test the memory on the machine?
I ran memtest for 3 hours which resulted in 5 passes with NO errors. Errol
Does this still happen with Fedora Core 3 test releases?
