FC3Test2 install problems

Tue Sep 21 17:46:13 UTC 2004

I was hoping that the test 2 final would solve at least 1 of my
problems, but no such luck.  If you missed my previous post, I have at
least 2 problems which cause FC3T2 to not install correctly.

First My System:
MOBO 850 Pro2LE (MSI 6523)
GFX ATI Radeon 7200
MEM 256M
BIOS: ASI 6.00
CPU Intel P4 1.5GHz

upon starting the install , directly after the warning that I am
installing a "test" package etc. I get the following error message:

Assertion (metadata_length >= bios_geom.sectors) at disk_dos.c: 
7739 in function_add_logical_part_metadata()failed.

and a choice of either ignore or cancel.  Selecting either of these
options will eventually cause the install to continue, though the
message occurs approximately 50 times during the install process.

Now the odd thing is that the first time that I tried to install (the
2nd pre-release) the system booted up and I had a working installation
for a few days, when I foolishly tried to re-install in order to get
some data on the error messages, if it weren't for that I would probably
chuck this disk in the ocean and await FC3 final.

Anyway after the install and reboot, the system comes up and just about
the time I am expecting the login screen, the computer reboots. At first
I thought this related to the problems I have with my Radeon 7200 and
Xorg, but I have booted into init 3 and linux single and the same reboot
occurs, also after the first reboot, the system reboots during the fsck
on following boots (or later if I ignore the fsck).

I was about to file a bugzilla, but against what?  I thought anaconda,
but it is apparently doing it's job - A key would seem to be to find out
what the heck that assertion error is all about and why the heck was I
able to install that first time and not since could it be the secret is
which errors I ignored and which I canceled?

	Google was no help when I tried to find other Assertion errors.  I've
bee trying to follow the initscripts to see if I can figure out what is
supposed to run when I reboot, but I am way too inexperienced for that. 
Any way I am sending dmesg and the tail of messages, which has little
more data as to what occurs prior to reboot if anyone can give me a
pointer
