Description of Problem: GUI installation crapped out twice. System messages included one screen which read that the ATAPI CD was 'busy' -- looked as if it was continuing to poll the device, which wasn't responding. On another system message screen (F6?), I found the following: (anaconda:99): GnomeCanvas_CRITICAL**: file gnome-canvas-path-def.c: Line 1142 (gnome_canvas_path_def_any_closed): assertion `path!=NULL' failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Sorry; don't know, aside from running installation. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
Have you checked your media following the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html
Yes, I did a mediacheck on Disk 1, and no problems were reported. As an addendum, the third installation was successful.
Guessing it was just a sporadic read failure, then.
