The exact same thing happens on a Thinkpad T41.
Have you verified your installation media with media check? What is your installation language? Can you switch over to tty2 (ctrl-alt-f2) and verify that the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab exists?
Media passed verification. I'll check on the zone.tab.

The same thing happens me on my dell Precision M 20. The media passes okey but anaconda dies after the firewall-view. (dont know if it matter but im installing from the DVD-iso)
Precisely the same issues happen to me. Using the DVD iso, verified the media, checked for the existence of /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab (which exists but is empty)
I should also note that I'm running the install DVD from an external usb2.0 DVD drive plugged into a usb 2.0 port.
Just to make it more interesting, the exact same effect occurs when I install from CDs on the external DVD-ROM drive. HOWEVER, I did come up with something that may have a bearing. When I installed from an internal IDE device, boththe DVD and CD got past the TZ check immediately, but as I mentioned, both failed when I was installing from an external USB drive. Apparently the issue was that I was taking too long choosing the manual disk configuration. When I didn't take long breaks where the drive would sit idle, the effect does NOT occur.
I also noticed that if I rushed through the disk partition selection, it didn't happen, but if I took my time, I got the error.
I'm getting the exact same problem on a Compaq Armada M700. The DVD verified OK.
Are you still experiencing this problem with FC5? I have redone the timezone screen completely, so this could be fixed.
I will attempt to reinstall with FC5 as soon as I have an available partition on that machine.
I have not seen this with FC5. The new timezone screen is missing one nicety of the old: when twiddling the city-arrow around the old screen used to dynamically mention which city was currently selected; the new does not.
I have upgraded that system to FC6 and I did not see that issue. Thanks!
