Description petri.poyhonen 2005-10-02 11:12:08 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
I use this media to upgrade FC3 -> FC4.
I used this same media successfully to upgrade HP Omnibook laptop.  Now it fails in one of my desk top machines.  Anaconda suggests that I vould have too little HD space.  My FC3 report about 30G free space on my HD.

Consistenly the progress bar indicates that intall image has been 50% transferred, when installation crashes.

The same problem , exactly at the same sopt, occurs also when installing "linux text".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC4 install iso

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load install media, disc 1
2.choose graphical or text installation
3.progress until system reports that it is transferring install image to the HD
  

Actual Results:  Anaconda produces a dump.  Installation exits abnormally.  System must be booted.

Expected Results:  Installer should upgrade the packages.

Can you verify your media according to the instructions at
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html?

Comment 3 petri.poyhonen 2005-10-05 14:39:54 EDT

I have now checked the media.
It is PASS.

Comment 4 petri.poyhonen 2005-10-09 04:20:23 EDT

Changed my cd-rom drive and FC4 installation appears to progross as expected. 
Looks like a hw issue now.
