How long did you wait before deciding the install was hanging? Are you installing this one on VirtualBox or not?

1. Just tried again and waited well in excess of 20 minutes. DVD runs for approx 15 secs when message appears; then no further activity apparent.

2. This installation is to replace the Fedora 7 on a dual boot system. Not VirtualBox.

(I did a VirtualBox installation on another m/c to test the DVD and to see how long the message should be displayed before reporting the bug)

I need to keep the existing partition table as a) its got WinXP on sda2 and b) I don't partition disks every day of the week - it's scary!!

What happens if you switch to tty2 and ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom?

There appears to be a very limited window of opportunity to use a shell on tty2 between the start of anaconda and the display of the fedora screen. I can't type that fast accurately!! Is this when you want me to create the symlink?

Prior to the launch of anaconda, alt-F3 and alt-F4 show progress data etc but alt-F2 goes to a non-responsive screen.

Once anaconda has started alt-Fx is inhibited.

Hi, I can verify that I have exactly the same problem. 

I am replacing a pre-existing Fedora 9 box.
(1) I verified my DVD source. 
(2) I have chosen a "custom layout" for the disk which preserves my /home partition but formats everything else (except the root partition) to ext4. 
(3) I have made the symlink from /dev/sr0 to /dev/cdrom. I have checked that they both have the same permissions and type (11,) (To do so, I switched to tty2 when the first "pretty" Fedora screen appears.)

The system hangs on "retrieving installation information" for at least 30 minutes.

Any suggestions to circumvent this problem would be most appreciated, as I have no OS on my box anymore!

I have discovered that the installation goes smoothly if I do not ask for ext4 formatted partitions.

Currently, I have a logical ext3 partition for /boot and an LVM volume with /home, /usr and / as ext3 partitions. I asked for /home to be preserved as ext3 but the others to be formatted as ext4. That appears to have caused the hang. When I asked the partitions to be formatted as ext3, the installation continues on to the next stage.

Thanks for the pointers Derek. Found by accident that I needed ctrl-alt-f2 from the first "fedora" screen to get tty2 and c-a-f6 to return to the fedora screen. Have retried a couple of times; set the symlink successfully but still cannot get past the "Retrieving install info.." point. Have tried both ext4 and ext3 for / on the LVM volume without success. I am not preserving any partition on the LVM volume but am keeping the /swap partition on sda5.

The CD drive is USB on a Dell D420 laptop.

I still have only Win XP on this box. No Linux!

I hope the Fedora team picks up this bug!

Can either of you attach /tmp/syslog to this report? If you have an external server, you can scp it out with "scp /tmp/syslog username@location:directory" from tty2 (ctrl-alt-F2).

Re-tried as per original post with ext4 for "/" mount.

Could not scp (or ping the server) - presumably network not enabled - so copied syslog to USB flash. Extra syslog generated by mounting flash drive deleted from the following :-

--- syslog ends ---

It seems to me that for some reason, anaconda is trying to hit the network looking for your installation repo, instead of looking at the CD.  Since you don't have the network up (I remember reading that - could be wrong), it's just hanging waiting on things to resolve that never will.

Can you see if there's a /dev/cdrom, or a /dev/sr*?  ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/sr* on tty2 will help.  If this is the problem, I think I know the answer.

ctl-alt-f2 at the first fedora screen ...

sh-4:0# ls -l /dev/cdrom
ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory

sh-4:0# ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw----. 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 17 19:26 /dev/sr0

sh-4:0# ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom    (as suggested at comment #3)

sh-4:0# ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 17 19:26 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0

CD is mounted as /mnt/stage2   ls -l /mnt/stage2 lists the CD ok.

(The other mount point is /mnt/runtime)

From previous syslog - eth0 did come up at 100Mbps - dhcp request logged on server and DHCPACK issued with IP address. However, I could not scp or ping the server from tty2 so resorted to USB. Had eth0 initialized OK then it should, presumably, have been able to access the server (and Internet).

Okay, then I think I see what's going on here.  I'm going to dupe this to a bug that is tracking what I believe to be the real issue.  A workaround should be to switch to tty2 and make the symlink as soon as anaconda shows you the initial graphical welcome screen.  I think that should allow you to proceed later.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 505639 ***

Not sure the symlink is the issue. See my comment #5.

Neither am I as the workaround does not work for me!

I have copied the DVD contents to a local web server and re-attempted the installation with the "askmethod" option for URL install etc.
I can confirm that an IP address was obtained by dhcp and that the following files were downloaded OK:-

The installation progressed as in #1 above and failed in the same manner with the last line of the syslog being:-
