FC 9 Installation IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error (2)

[Daniel Kirsten]

Hallo, 

there is a photo under

-------------------------------------------------------


I try to install Fedora 9 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi2550
using a DVD.   I use text bases installation due to Radeon HD2700. 

When the installation program installs the rpm-packages from the DVD, 
it stops after some hundred packages and gives a long python-related 
error message ending by 

   IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

Then, the installation terminates... 

Is there any solution or workaround for this issue?

Best regards,  Daniel

This looks like you're either having read errors off of the DVD or write
errors to the drive.  You could try switching to the second or third (or
possibly fourth, I forget which) terminal where the error output is.  It
should at least tell you whether it's a read error or a write error.

I've seen this with a bad DVD (media or drive) in the past.
