Hi, I just tried to install FC3. After I confirm the keyboard configuration, I get a Bug dialog that says:

   Assertion (heads < 256) ad disk_dos.c:486 in
   function probe_partition_for_geom() failed.

If I ignore or cancel it a few times, I get a new bug:

   Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sectors + S ==A) at
   disk_dos.c:495 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed.

I am installing from four CDs I burned and tested. The machine is an AMD K6-2 with 128MB RAM, a Memorex CD-ROM and WD Caviar HDD.

After ignoring a few more instances of either, the install moves on to the Installation Type screen. Is this bug something to be concerned about?

Thanks,
Lyle
