FC5T3 anaconda failure during install?

did cdrom image download, sha1sum check and media check after burning
CDs. booting disk1 (or booting recovery cd and switching to disk1, as
well as trying various combinations of unplugging devices) ... after
doing skip media ... next is the anaconda message ... followed almost
immediately by install failed message ... then unmounts a bunch of stuff
and message about ready to reboot.

so i go back and do a fresh install from FC5T2 disks and then yum update
of everything to get me up to FC5T3 level. the only problem is that I
only did root filesystem as part of install. after getting fully
updated, I try to create and mount a separate /home filesystem (both
doing graphical logical volume and manually with mkfs and mount). this
failed with mount error message about block device being write-protected
and not being able to do mount a write-protected block device. after
several attempts, i change selinux to permissive and able to mount /home
filesystem (and then restore it).
