Description of problem: fc3 dvd image checksum looks good. The following abort & traceback is encountered on a specific machine, dvd-based text install('linux text'). This is not a vnc install, though the vnc python module has the error. It does not error when installing on others machines with this same DVD, so it is somehow triggered by this machine's config. << Running Anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 673, in ? import vnc File "/usr/lib/anaconda/vnc.py", line 18, in ? from constants_text import * ImportError: no module named constants_text install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done >>> etc. Happens every time *on this machine* but not on the others in the office. Loopback mounting the dvd's /Fedora/base/hdstg2.img shows that /usr/lib/anaconda/textw/constants_text.py and .pyc both exist and look normal, so the question becomes, 'Why doesn't the os.path setup logic at /usr/bin/anaconda line 307 appear to work?' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot install, use linux text or default 2.check cdrom, or not 3.boom Actual results: << Running Anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 673, in ? import vnc File "/usr/lib/anaconda/vnc.py", line 18, in ? from constants_text import * ImportError: no module named constants_text install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done >>> etc. Expected results: anaconda detecting video, mouse, etc. Additional info: Machine details: Machine installed redhat 9 in text mode fine, with fixup for video later. ABIT VP6 with dual 1GHZ P3 Coppermine. ELSA Synergy III video. I use this machine daily under RH9. It seems solid.

This is usually caused by bad media. Can you please verify your media following the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html?
Did the 'linux mediacheck' style check on the subject machine, it passed. Also tried re-reading the image with xcdroast on the subject machine and on another machine: both produced .iso files with good md5's. Also note that I have successfully installed with this media on other boxes.
Can you try booting with 'linux ide=nodma'?
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received the feedback we requested, we will assume the problem was not reproduceable or has been fixed in a later update for this product. If you have further information, feel free to add to the report and reopen.
