Expected Results: I would have liked to complete the installation by skipping the offending RPM or at least re-trying the failed op. Additional info:
Please run the mediacheck test, you appear to have a bad CD.
A similar thing happened to me. However, the MD5SUMS checked out, as did mediacheck. I was trying to do an Update install on a reiserfs filesystem. I can't rule out the root cause being All My Fault, because I was warned about 3rd party packages. I tried twice. The installer quit both times after ~1.5 hours. The second time, it was immediately AFTER updating zsh. Finally, I tar-ed up my home directory, saved it to a network drive, and did a basic Workstation install. Total install time was less than an hour, but 50 more packages than the update. Go figure.
These errors in your anaconda dump: 4>hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hda: ATAPI reset complete <4>hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hda: command error: error=0x54 <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 1208172 indicate there was a hardware related issue preventing the install from working.
