Did you run media check on your CD/DVD?

Yeah, the media check ran and reported no issues. I'll re-burn and try again, may be the weekend before I get a chance though.

I got installed via an HTTP server, so I've dropped the severity to low. I'll try to dd an iso image using the newly installed system to see if I can read the whole DVD, then try a sha1sum to see how the image fared. Hopefully that'll tell if the issue was down to drivers.

Added some error handling to catch this and prompt you to retry, etc. just like we do when having troubles with HTTP/FTP repos.
OK, sorry about the delay, life will find a way ... to get in the way. :-) Using dd to read the DVD on the affected system produced a file of 4,700,372,992 bytes - fairly short. On another system, running Fedora 7, it seemed to read OK, a few KB over the size of the original image file, which I'm assuming is a block size issue with dd. The DVD did check out OK in K3B using an MD5 check versus the image file. This was on a third system still running Fedora Core 3. I'm no expert, but the issue appears to be related to either the DVD drive its self or the drivers. The media check came back OK on both burns using the affected system. The affected system previously had Fedora 8 installed on it, this went on with no issues at all, also installed from a DVD burned on the third system. I can't say how up to date F8 was since the system is a testing box and hadn't been turned on in quite a while. I can only say for sure it had the initial F8 release installed. If it's a driver issue, I'd have to say the changes happened since then. Hope that lot helps track down something useful.
Had the same problem. Used Pre-Download (or something like it), installed with Yum, rebooted, installed. Got to the boot screen, picked F9, then crashed. Had to reinstall F8 most hardware was messed up. Had to remove many packages (gnome-display-config, etc.) and perform yum to redownload packages. Now F8 runs like a top.
Josh - I doubt you are seeing the same problem at all. If you are still seeing preupgrade-related problems with F10, please open a new bug report for that. Gavin - That sounds like kernel driver problems, yep. If you are still experiencing problems with F10, please open a bug against the kernel component describing your issues.
