Note: this may be related to bug 174341 (see also that bug for hardware info). The FC5test1 installer crashes very early if I have my Compaq WL110 PCMCIA WLAN card inserted. The last message shown is "Loading ohci1394 driver...", then "install exited abnormally -- received signal 11". Last three lines in VT3: probing for firewire scsi devices modules to insert pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcmcia load module set done Last three lines in VT4: <7> ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[...] <6> cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: clean <6> cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af: clean --- offtopic: I had hard time getting this card to work in FC5test1, whereas it worked easily with FC4. For example, both hostap_cs and orinoco_cs were loaded for the card, and I could never get it to work before doing all of the config manually using orinoco_cs as it was in FC4 and blacklisting hostap_cs in /etc/modprobe.conf. Is this worth reporting separately against some component?
Identical crash with a wired pcmcia network card, an old 3COM 10/100 card controlled by 3c574_cs, so this is not related with wireless.

Would my Mini-PCI wireless card really fall into the PCMCIA category? My Dell laptop is exhibiting this same behavior with no PCMCIA cards inserted, but the internal Mini-PCI wireless card is activated. It worked just fine with FC4, but the FC5t1 installer dies exactly as described in Bug 174038.
Sure enough, disabling the Mini-PCI wireless card in the BIOS kept the installer from crashing. So far I'm up to package selection with no problems, other than the lack of wireless support.
Also confirmed with an Orinoco mini-pci card. This card acts as a pcmcia card.
Please try again with test 2, as some kudzu and loader fixes have gone in relating to PCMCIA segmentation faults in anaconda.
Fixed for me on FC5T2.
