From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2smp i686) Description of problem: First: I have verified all media on with two separate machines/CD-drives. I went to upgrade my Dell Latitude C800 laptop from 7.3 (up2date as of ~week ago), to 8.0. Using the graphical installer, I opted to customize packages during the install and checked some more packages. It came back with the old "you need these to satisifiy dependencies" which I agreed to. Then it started upgrading/installing as normal. However, eventually it froze during the install of a particular package on disc 1 -- unfortunately I do not recall which one. Since the failure install stalls during "Finding packages to upgrade" in either the text install or graphical install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Sucessful upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0 Additional info:
Created attachment 78705 [details] upgrade log
upgrade.log.syslog is empty After booting the now-crippled 7.3 system neither KDE nor Gnome work. KDE gives me a couple dialog boxes which say, Couldn't start kdeinit. Check your installation. Couldn't start kmserver. Check your installation. and exits after I hit the "okay" buttons. Gnome starts after a lengthy pause during initialization w/o a window manager.
Could you check your media following the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html?
Please see the first line of my bug report.
This sounds like a problem reading the media. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75008 ***
