All,
I've just experienced one of the most unnerving situations. I've a
custom built machine that WAS running the following:
ECS GeForce 6100SM-M mother board
AMD 64 X2 Dual core 5600+
4GB RAM DDR2 800 Mhz
nVidia GT7300 PCIE 256MB video card
2 - SATA Hard drives; 1 - 320 GB WD and 1 - 500GB Seagate
550 watt Antec power supply
Fedora 9 x86_64 with all of the latest patches
As my Xmas present I upgraded the machine to:
Gigabyte MA790X-DS4 mother board
AMD Phenom Quad core 9550
8GB RAM DDR2 800 Mhz
Retained the video card from above
2 - SATA Hard drives; 1 - 500 GB Seagate and 1 - 1TB Seagate
850 watt Antec power supply
I attempted to install, from the same DVD used on the original machine,
Fedora 9 x86_64 with 4 failures at just about the same place while
installing packages. I used my i386 Fedora 9 DVD and all went well
during the install so attempted to do a upgrade to x86_64 without luck.
I did a test using my Fedora 8 x86_64 DVD and it installed perfectly.
I then attempted to do a upgrade to Fedora 9 without any luck (it
appeared to fail at about the same place). I then downloaded and burned
another copy of the Fedora 9 x86_64 DVD, checked it and attempted to do
another install and one again it failed at about the same place.
What could possibly be happening? I since reinstalled Fedora 8, but
that has reached it's E-O-L. Should I just attempt to go to Fedora 10
x86_64? Should I have entered something in the boot parameters
concerning the additional memory?
Any help or advice would be great!
Thanks,
Gene Poole
Maybe try a re-spin ISO with updated packages, in case the problem has
been fixed or is non-existant with a newer install?

Got to be worth a try!
