From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20050413 Description of problem: Yesterday at LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco, I got a Fedora Core 4 install DVD from the Fedora booth. But when I tried it today, I was disappointed to find that it always stops with FAIL in initial integrity check. It looks like an official DVD, and I was speaking with an actual Fedora person working the booth when I picked it up from one foot away from him, so presumably the one I got really is the official version. --- Brent Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from DVD (on laptop, in my case) 2. select 'OK' when asked whether to check the media 3. weep with dissapointment Actual Results: Failure message Expected Results: Success message Additional info:
Hey Brent, As we realized at LinuxWorld and were telling people, the place which did the duplication messed up some how. Rest assured the disc isn't bad though. The problem with the discs is that one package, anaconda-help, has a byte error. The way to get around this is to skip the media check on boot and then choose an install class that does not include "Everything". We personally tested the Personal Desktop, Workstation and Server install classes and it worked fine. Furthermore, the problem is known only to occur on certain DVD drives. Please try the installation again and let us know if this solves the problem. The broken package is not really of any use to you, unless you want to do a respin of the distro, so don't think you're out any. Please let me know if that works, so that I can go ahead and close this bug. Thanks!
Lack of feedback. Closing as NOTABUG
