Description of problem:
I downloaded FedoraCore3test3 from local mirror and burned it to DVD.
I tested DVD in two machines and it looks like OK. Installer working
and I can split partitions and select packages for installation.
Installer, in last step, format hdd1 as "root(/)" and hdd5 as swap.
hdd1 ext3 19GB
hdd5 swap 1GB
Now, installer begin copying installation image to disk. But in quater
of this operation, progress bar stops. Error: "Can't copy installation
image to disk...." "There is probably not enough free space on disk..."

Anaconda says "TEST: PASSED".

Steps to Reproduce:

Does booting with 'linux ide=nodma' help?

Comment 2 Jakub Kocourek 2004-10-22 16:49:31 UTC
Thank you!

Anaconda working OK with "linux ide=nodma"

Installed system working OK with DMA.

But I don't know why Anaconda doesn't work with DMA enabled?!
