Description of problem:
While installing the Fedora Core 2 X86_64 bit distribution on an AMD

When the installation errors it reports:

Trace back (most recent call last):
  File"/usr/bin/anaconda". line 1131, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, 
config FileData)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 475, in run dispatch.gotoNext
()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext 
self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep rc=apply
(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 1125, in doPostInstall 
devnull = os.open("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR) 
  OSError: [Errno 5]Inpt/output error: '/dev/null'
