Description of problem: The netinstall CD boots to shortly past the point where the penguin is painted in the upper left-hand corner, and then it gives a woops, debugging stuff scrolls past too fast for me to catch what happened, and then it hits another oops and gives up. Can't install, but can reboot with the 4-finger salute (control-option-fn-delete on an iBook). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 10 preview. How reproducible: Gets the same results on a G3 clamshell iBook with 576M of RAM and on a G4 white iBook with 768M RAM. The SHA1 signature did check, and Apple's disk utility reported no failure, so I didn't try burning the CD again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the netinstall image for the preview. 2. Burn the CD. 3. Insert the CD in the iBook. 4. Boot and hold down the C at the chime. 5. Release the C key when the screen flashes. 6. Watch the debug messages and the woops on the screen. Actual results: Fails to boot the netinstall disk Expected results: Wanted to boot the netinstall disk so I could check another bug. Additional info: If there is a way to catch the debug printfs, I'll give that a try. Here's what is on the screen when it stops, copied by hand: -------------------------- iscsi: registered transport (tcp) detecting hardware... waiting for hardware to initialize...

I think I got that all proofed okay.
Would like to add that I am experiencing the same issue from the Fedora 10 Preview PPC DVD install disk. Am experiencing it on a G4 powerbook with 1.25GB of memory.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Finally got a chance to check this on the F10 release. The netinstall CD boots just fine to the install phase, as it should. Haven't tried an install yet for various reasons, but it appears that the release CD does not have this problem of getting the woops. One point, I downloaded and burned the preview image under Mac OS X 10.3 (fully updated), but downloaded and burned the release image on the same hardware under Fedora 9. Since the SHA1 checksums were okay both times, the download process is probably no issue, but there is a possibility that Mac OS C X 10.3 botched the burn. I'll try burning the release CD under the Mac OS to see what happens when I have a moment.
