Comment 1 Dan 2004-05-20 04:12:28 UTC 
ok sorry to say almost same results for the text install:
"File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1131, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch,
configFileData)

Comment 2 Kevin van Gool 2004-06-29 22:33:30 UTC 
I am having the exact same problems with the Fedora Core 2 
installation.
Comment 3 Pete Stieber 2004-07-09 16:58:00 UTC 
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.
