Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 238408
unable to install Fedora 7 test 4 (6.93 - x64)
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:03 EST
Description of problem: Possibly an anaconda bug, but I downloaded Fedora 7 test4 (6.93 - x64) and burnt it to DVD, I get the choices screen when booting, I choose graphical setup and only get a text setup. I continue through the text setup to the installation media page, choose "CD-ROM" and the installer bails claiming the DVD in the drive isn't a fedora install CD. I'm not sure if this is one bug or two, perhaps to do with my hardware? I have not yet attempted to burn the ISO image to a second DVD and see if it's reproducable, I can if required...it just seemed unlikely given the error that it would be a media issue, but Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Test 4 (6.93) How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from DVD 2. choose graphical install 3. get text install Actual results: Unable to install/upgrade Expected results: Ability to install/upgrade Additional info: Dual opteron 248 K8N-DL Nforce Pro 4 motherboard Nv raid (2x250gig mirrored array) 6 gig ram NVidia 7600GS PCI-E
Are there any errors on tty3 when you try to use the CD device?
Downloaded FC7 i386 and x86-64 and burned iso DVDs. Get the same problem. Starts the process but after choice of CDROM/NFS/FTP/HTTP and choosing CDROM spits out DVD saying no system on CD (same results with i386 and x86-64). DVD is Pioneer DVR-109 with upgraded firmware (ver 1.58)
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage Could you give me the full URL you are using to download the image please Could you also switch to tty3 during the install (Ctrl-Alt-F3) as Jeremy suggested and post back with any error messages. Cheers Chris
Been a while since I downloaded ISOs so don't have a record of URL. Eventually managed to load Fedora 7 (both i386 and x86_64) using the BootAnaconda process as described by "sindrb" and using the rpm from folk.ntnu.no/sindrb. Other than some "issues" until kmod-nvidia was installed, process worked quite well with added advantage of only downloading modules required. Had issues with K3b so replaced my DVD drive (even though it worked OK with Windows). Just re-tried the F7 iso and it seems to work. So in my case it appears to have been a defective DVD drive.
