This is my final status.
I downloaded and burned a copy of Fedora 9 Unity Re-Spin and had the same type of failures, but here's what I learned:
- I like to and always define individual volume groups for my file systems and for this system I had created the following under Fedora 8, osvg00 (contains /(root), /usr, /home, etc.); datavg00 (for my 'sharable' data), etc. With all of the releases up to Fedora 9 I never had a problem doing this during the install. By doing multiple install attempts using Fedora 9 x86_64, I noticed that when I got lazy and didn't define the LV for any file system other than the OS required, it proceeded all the way to what appeared to be the final packages.
- Fedora 9 i386 installed completely even with all the custom file systems defined (just for install testing only)
- Fedora 9 x86_64 installed as long as I allowed the default file system structure to be in effect.
My final solution was to do a fully customized install of Fedora 10 x86_64, which included Oracle 11gR1 database, a customized Apache, Eclipse, Joomla, and Tomcat. All went perfectly without a hitch or issue. Also, looking back on some old notes, I noticed that I had not done anything but a upgrade since I had to do a full install when I converted to SATA disk drives. This was the first real upgrade in 2+ years!
So thanks to all who gave advice and direction! For documentation I used a combination of the ISPConfig 'The Perfect Server' and 'Fedora 10 - Personal Installation Guide' from www.mjmwired.net and last but not least, 'Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Installation on Fedora 10 (F10)' from www.oracle-base.com.
Thanks,
Gene
