Description of problem: OK first of all forget the selected components cause i have no idea which component is causing the fault, all i know is i downloaded the FC4-DVD.iso file and burned this to a DVD R disc. The dvd booted ok into the kernel and the init rd image loaded fine. But the installer reported it could not find the Fedora Core CD in any of its cd rom drives after i had selected the language setting for the installation. This happened in both GUI and Text based install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always on both a dell precision M60 and Acer 4050 Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert DVD 2.boot system from dvd 3. Actual results: cd/dvd drive is ejected awaiting disc with fedora Expected results: Should load the installer program Additional info: Why is the download size of the DVD iso approx 2 gb, when the reported size on the uk mirror site is 2.56gb. Also why does Red Hat not put the DVD image on their own server???
If i recall this has happened with FC3 as well???
I think your ISO is corrupt. Please re-download it and use sha1sum to calculate the checksum. Other try could be using: ide=nodma as boot parameter.
I have had the same problem on a PIII 550Mhz and a LG DVD±R/±RW/RAM (GSA series). I have tried to use the same DVD on another machine equipped with a P4 2.66GHz and a newer LG DVD (GSA) and it worked fine. Could it be related to the DVD burner?
(This is a mass update of bugs which have been in the NEEDINFO state unmodified for over a year and have not been confirmed for a still supported version of Fedora Core.) Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
