User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032713 Fedora/3.0.8-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.8

Hi! I tried “Fedora 11 Snap1 live-gnome 32 bits” on my old Pentium3 with 260Mb Ram.It booted fine and the live-system came up.
Tried to install the live-system to hard disk. I Chose “shrink current system” and everything seemed to go well, but in the end it hang while the message, something like, “performing post installation filesystemchange - this can take several minutes..”. Well I think it didn’t happen anything in one hour, no disc activity or anything, so I shut it of and hoped that it was finished and would boot the new system. But it did not (of course).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download, burn, boot live system and choose to save to disc.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Hangs.

Expected Results:  
Some message indicating something.

I just want to add here that my system (chip i810) apparently have a problem also
with Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 from cd and it worked fine. Updated and
rebooted.
After logging in X froze completely. What I mean is that this might be related
to drivers or possibly an drm issue whith i810.

If you attempt to reproduce this, could you please attach /tmp/anaconda.log, /tmp/storage.log, and /tmp/syslog to this bug report?  Those files would be really helpful in finding out exactly what's going on here.  If you can't reproduce, we will probably have to close this as INSUFFICIENT_DATA as I have not heard any other reports along these lines and we have not reproduced this issue either in our livecd testing.  Thanks.

I do not know very much about these things. If I succed in reproduce the fault, how will I be able to collect and get the files to bugzilla, I mean if the system hangs which I think happened.

Looks like you don't have enough memory and anaconda is getting killed by the kernel's OOM process.  If at all possible, can you add more memory to your system?  256 is really pushing the lower bounds these days.
