</div>I haven't seen this happen myself. I would hazard a guess that it<br>
depends on the drive model and driver. Perhaps something isn't being<br>
reset correctly after the test.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>That would also be my guess as well. I cannot remember now whether this happened in prior version installs now. This time I was affected recently with grub errors after an update and was no longer able to boot F9. F8 still worked if grub loaded and did not report a stage 2 error. Tried re-installing F9 and it always seemed to stall towards then end (file #835 of ~936) for a generic install (take the defaults for choices and modify once a base system was installed) so I tried numerous times and encountered the post media check hang. I could only successfully install this time from the latest Fedora Unity release. Not sure if I tried the media check then as that was ~ my 8th attempt to reinstall....<br>
<br>I am not sure how to get any log errors when an install is unsuccessful to find out more for a bugzilla report. Today I did see some messages regarding other consoles for error messages and will keep this in mind if I do encounter such a problem again.<br>
