upgrade from FC1 to FC3

[Erich Noll]

I had this identical problem on a fresh install of both FC2 and FC3 .

mediacheck showed my media was good.

I solved it by removing all the memory cards and replacing them with
known good cards.  Once I did that, it worked like a champ.  I did not
ever use ide=nodma .

You did the mediacheck? Please do so and boot installation/upgrading
with

linux ide=nodma

This might even help to bypass the error you see now with CD2.
If not you may have a RAM problem which comes up when deflating such
large packages like OpenOffice.org. The glibc RPM is such a candidate
too.
