From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: The installer also displays a weird text ('TU3CUAK3ME') instead of english at the installation language at the beginning of install. After choosing the language, it crashes and displays the same text (and pulls out the DVD). I used english, so I find this very weird. I also tried the ide=nodma and acpi=off and it's still the same Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from cd 2.select english install language 3. Actual Results: It stops doing anything, it displays the weird text 'TU3CUAK3ME' with special characters and it ejects the DVD RW drive Expected Results: It should had continued the installation Additional info: No error message. Just the weird text
Do you have any reiserfs partitions?
I have the same problem installing FC6. Except I get no errors on the screen, or any weird text. It just sits there. I also tried the text install, and the same thing occurs. I have no reiserfs partitions, only a Windows NTFS partition on that disk (and an unformatted partition intended for FC6).
Mihai, when it crashes, can you use alt-f2 / f3 / f4, and see if there are kernel messages on any of the other tty's ? If so, capturing those (even if you can only get a photograph of the screen) would be really useful to diagnose this.
