Description of problem: (dump-attached) sudden exception after retry-butten pressed after cdrom read error possibly related to flakey hardware Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda in fc5 How reproducible: unknown (1 time), but seems associated with other cd malfunctions suspect flakey hardware: cd access seems to get unreliable after 1-hour+ of install (once on the very last rpm!). Upon previous failures the cd device (hdc) itself seems to no longer be recognized! Reboot and retry shows errors on first cd. Problem seems to go away after a few-minutes power-off rest. I suppose this might also be explained by a device driver bug. Steps to Reproduce: (?) 1. fail install (cd problem) on disk5. device hdc seems to disappear(!?!) 2. warm reboot, gives errors on first disk, retry offered 3. retry causes exception (see attached dump) Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: see attached
