Failed hard disk install

[Pedro Fernandes Macedo]

I'm trying to install FC3 test 1 here...
First , all cds have the right md5.  Burnt cd1 , placed the isos on 
/dev/hdc1 (fat32 partition that I always used in disk installs , except 
in fedora core 2 test 2 , when I had to use a dvd disk).
After booting with linux askmethod selinux=0 xfs jfs hde=noprobe 
hdf=noprobe hdg=noprobe hdh=noprobe  (to test both xfs and jfs and dont 
have to wait to sata probing), I got a failure message when I selected 
the right directory and device , saying that the iso files werent found. 
Switching to the other vts , there was this message:
<4> VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev hdc1
<4> Unable to load NLS charset ascii
<3> fat: IO charset ascii not found

I decided to give another try and copied the isos to my home xfs 
partition (dont have any ext2/3 partitions here.. only xfs). Again , 
same options and same error...

As I said before , the same fat partition has been used to install all 
the fedora stable and test releases since fedora core 1 on my computer , 
except for fedora core 2 test 2 , which asked me for a driver to use the 
harddisk , so I installed from a dvd... Also , I havent changed anything 
on this partition (it's where I keep all my iso files and a few other 
things that I dont change very often)

Just added this to bugzilla , under bug number 128135 .
