Did you verify your media with the mediacheck according to the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html? Yes, I checked all 4 disks with the mediacheck that is performed after booting from CD1. All 4 CDs passed without any problems. I am having roughly the same problem after the fourth CD in an x86_64
install. I believe the reason for for the extra CD is I am installing
every package, so all of the CDs must be used. I am using a Tyan
Tomcat K8S(S2850G2N) motherboard. The mouse becomes unusabe, but is
not an hour glass but simple an I-bar text edit cursor. I can still
use the keyboard to navigate.
I did verify the CDs, and they have used to install the OS on other
machines with a different (Tyan Thunder K8W(S2885ANRF)) motherboard.
I belive my dump is the same as that described above except I belive
there are a few typos and a missing line in the first post. This is
understandable since the information must be recorded by hand. The
version I recorded follows.
Traceback (most recent call last):

devnull=os.open("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR)
OS.Error: [Errno5] Input/Output error: '/dev/null'
If I hit the Debug button in the resulting dialog I get
packages.py (1212) doPostInstall()
-> pass
(pdb)
I didn't know what to try next.
After rebooting grub comes up and I can use
kernel /vmlinux-2.2... (can't remember the name but hasn't been moved
to the boot directory due to the install crash)
boot
to get the machine to boot, but it's a mess since the normal install
died.
I'm very willing to recreate the crime and provide additional
information or try various install options.
See bug number 124029. The work around for me was to use linux mem=256M when installing. My HW MB: Tyan Tomcat K8S(S2850G2N) Processor: AMD Opteron 146 (2GHz) RAM: 1 GB HD: Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM IDE ULTRA ATA 133 Maybe it's a problem with x86_64 systems with more that X MB of memory where X > 256M. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 119447 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20040130 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: When installing Fedora Core 2 for x86_64 the installation hangs after inserting CD3 and klicking on OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from Fedora Core 2 (x86_64) CD1 2. Follow installation instructions until CD3 is required 3. Insert CD3 and klick OK Actual Results: System hangs showing an hourglass. Mouse is not responding any more, a Window with an error message pops up (see additional information below). Expected Results: Installation going on. Additional info: Looks like the error occurs after installing all the RPM packets and starting the configuration. A popup window appears which tells me that an unhandled exception occured and that I should file that as a bug in anaconda. The text in the window is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ananconda/gui.py", line 1048, in handleRednerCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/progress_gui.py", line 242 in RnderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 763, in nextClicked self.dispatch.goNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 1125, in do PostInstall devnull=os.open("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR) OS.Error: [Errno5] Input-/Output-Error: '/dev/null'
