I booted the new x86_64 dvd and asked anaconda to check it. It said it was OK, and ejected the dvd. When I said to continue, I would get an error dialog, over and over and installation would not continue. I had to do a reset and start over and bypass the media check. This happened on two different machines.
There's a race condition at work there. The fix? Slooooow dooooown.
- Test completes and the CD is ejected.
- Re-insert the CD
- Wait a few seconds for the CD to be detected (watch the drive light)
- Hit "Continue"
and you should be fine. If you end up with the error dialog: Insert the CD, *wait*, then hit OK.
I was about to ask if that was a known/documented issue for future work in anaconda... then decided to search for myself (yay overcoming my laziness).
The problem is reported a few times, but that has been pretty much the same behavior after mediachecks for a very long time.
