I'm doing a clean install of FC5 on a box that had FC4 previously.I'm installing from a DVD.My install keeps failing during the installation of packages.The last try failed during the installation of perl.The only thing I've noticed from Ctrl-Alt-F6 is the "No volume groups found" message. The other time the installation failed during installation of some other package but I could not even do a Ctrl-ALt-Fx because the machine just froze.Also the other time the installation failed just before completion of the disk formatting stage.I never had this problem with FC1-FC4 Here are the specs of my machine : Processor Model : AMD Athlon(tm) Speed : 1.25GHz Model Number : 1463 (estimated) Performance Rating : PR1817 (estimated) Type : Standard L2 On-board Cache : 256kB Synchronous Write-Back (16-way, 64 byte line size) Mainboard MP Support : No MP APIC : No Total Memory : 1023MB Video System Monitor/Panel : MAG XJ810 Adapter : NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 (Microsoft Corporation) Physical Storage Devices Removable Drive : Floppy disk drive Hard Disk : MAXTOR 6L040J2 (37.3GB) Hard Disk : Maxtor 6Y080L0 (76.3GB) CD-ROM/DVD : DVDRW IDE1108 (CD 63X Rd, 16X Wr) (DVD 8X Rd, 2X Wr) CD-ROM/DVD : SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-240B (CD 40X Rd, 40X Wr) Logical Storage Devices 1.44MB 3.5" (A:) : 1MB (1MB, 81% Free) (FAT) Hard Disk (C:) : 39.1GB (2.9GB, 8% Free) (NTFS) Hard Disk (D:) : 19.7GB (2.7GB, 14% Free) (NTFS) Hard Disk (E:) : 17.6GB (4.9GB, 28% Free) (NTFS) Fc_5 i386 (F:) : 3.0GB (0MB, 0% Free) (CDFS) CD-ROM/DVD (G:) : N/A Peripherals Serial/Parallel Port(s) : 2 COM / 1 LPT USB Controller/Hub : Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller USB Controller/Hub : Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller USB Controller/Hub : Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller USB Controller/Hub : USB Root Hub USB Controller/Hub : USB Root Hub USB Controller/Hub : USB Root Hub Keyboard : Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard Mouse : HID-compliant mouse Human Interface : USB Human Interface Device MultiMedia Device(s) Device : MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device Device : Standard Game Port Device : NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface Communication Device(s) Device : Wireless Broadband Modem (WDM) #2 Power Management AC Line Status : On-Line -- "All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy."
