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). -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
