Description of problem: While anaconda is installing the packages for Fedora 15 Beta, it has an unrecoverable file error at the lockdev package. The only action available is to exit the installer and fail the installation. Severity set urgent since it results in complete failure of install (installer doesn't skip lockdev and go to next package) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Attempt to install the Fedora 15 Beta DVD iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.TC1/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ of sha256sum = a1177b3c4dec51566335e128d3c575045d2820c404c928097cd9d6819b17de85 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use install DVD, custom mode (custom mode may be irrelevant but was used when bug seen) 2. Selected Software development install profile (may not matter) 3. Install as usual Actual results: anaconda gets to lockdev and aborts with a file corruption error. User has to abort out and reboot. Note both the downloaded iso and the burned iso passed sha256 tests and the media test built into the DVD. Expected results: Anaconda should install lockdev as the other packages. Additional info: Also had the same package failure when using the same iso image on a USB Key as the install source.
Please attach the complete error message you are seeing - a screenshot would be nice.
I receive this same error when installing the "Graphical Desktop" using a custom partition layout from the net installer. Error Installing Package A fatal error occurred when installing the lockdev package. This could indicate errors when reading the installation media. Installation cannot continue. [Exit Installer] The package is lockdev-1.0.3-9.fc15.x86_64 (60 KB).
from the anaconda log: Installing lockdev-1.0.3-9.fc15.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/lock/lockdev: cpio: mkdir failed - Resource temporarily unavailable
