I recall someone saying here on this list that he had to wait 40-50min
before his upgrade from FC4 -> FC6 even _started_, so this might not be
a media problem at all. (I know FC4 -> FC6 is not your case, just
giving an example).

In my case (FC5 -> FC6), anaconda did stall for something like 20-30min
two times during installation, although on my case there was clearly
some disk activity. I switched to the text consoles and one of them (I
believe it was ALT+F4) showed some weird "inode_doinit_with...
context_to_sid..." messages. I decided to leave it running and
eventually it advanced.

There's definitely something wrong with this version of Anaconda, I've
never seen such delays with previous Fedora upgrades.

Regards,

Andre
