While attempting to upgrade a FC2 installation on my Dell Dimension 4600, I reach the point where it says "Transferring image to hard drive", then, after the next message, "Preparing RPM installation", anaconda crashes after completing about 12% of the installation. I also noticed the following warning during installing:
warning: package kernel = 2.6.9-1.667 was already added, replacing with kernel <= 2.6.9-1.667
This occurred twice in graphical install mode, and once in text mode. I'm using the DVD media, and the checksum passed:
antares:/downloads> md5sum FC3-i386-DVD.iso ca49964739f84848ca78fc03662272fb FC3-i386-DVD.iso
Also, the media check prior to the installation passed. I read in the FAQ to try and use several parameters during the installation like "linux ide=nodma" and "linux acpi=off", etc. I don't believe this will work, since FC1 and FC2 installed on this same computer with no problems whatsoever. I was going to try and rebuild my RPM database, to see if that helped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
