I've tried to install qa0309 on this machine a few times. Every time, I get one of these two dumps (files to be attached in a minute).
Created attachment 12806 [details] first dump
Created attachment 12807 [details] second dump
Both dumps occur early during the attempted install -- I've never gotten past network configuration.
Please investigate Brent.
Can you look on VC3 and VC4 and see if you see anything out of the ordinary? I've got a feeling that either the cd is bad or that something got corrupted during the download because the errors that you're seeing sound random. If the installer is having problems reading the CD, you should see error messages on VC4 that say something about seek errors or something to that effect.
I don't see any errors, and I don't think the CDs are corrupt -- I checked the MD5 sums, and they install fine on other machines. FWIW, qa0322 installs just fine on that same machine.
Weird. I don't know what the problem could have been. There's been a decent amount of anaconda and kernel fixes between qa0309 and qa0322, but I don't know of any that address the problem you were seeing.
I don't like bugs that just disappear, but I don't know a better way to resolve this bug except to close it as rawhide. Please reopen if you see the problem reappear in future builds. Thanks for your report.
