Your problem looks different from 443083 as you're not making a separate /tmp partition. This is media problems, caused either by a bad download or bad burn, or perhaps hardware troubles. Did you run media check? <6>sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK <6>sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] <4>Info fld=0xc5245 <6>sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: L-EC uncorrectable error <3>end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 3229972 <3>Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 807493
Yes I ran media check, and it told me it was successful.
Is there another test that I can do on the media to be sure it isn't corrupted? I made some other tries to install, I got the "same" error, but not a the same place.
Can you boot with libata.dma=0 and see if this works better for you?
Unfortunately not. I burn again a dvd with k3b on a FC6 box, check it with k3b, check again on installation, made a try without boot option and another try with option. Twice fail.
I don't know to think... I thought I built my Fedora 9 RC1 DVD iso with rawhide packages using this tutorial http://jons-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/05/pungi-and-mock-for-fun-and-profit.html I successfully install this F9RC1. But I saw after that package dates were 2008-04-17 :-( So, it seems I just rebuilt a Fedora 9 Preview. As F9 will be available in 6 days, I don't intend to try to rebuilt an iso with rawhide and to do some others tests and so, can't provide more info. Perhaps this bug can be closed
This error is definitely coming from the drive saying it is unable to read a sector. Sometimes a drive will work okay by itself but the computer doesn't have enough power to run the DVD drive and hard drive(s) at the same time.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I made many, many, many tries. All failed :-( With DVD-RW, with DVD-R Finally, I decided to install F9 from CD, a very long process, but I succeeded ! Ouais !!!!
Was this resolved for you with the release of F9 final?
No
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
