I had exactly the same experience with my laptop (Dell Inspiron 2200). Like you, mine was an upgrade from FC8....same results....same error. Once it rebooted, it was running in FC9 just fine.

I used telnet with installation iso on /home of the target system to accomplish the upgrade accessibly. I'll report re issues of F-9 later. In this email I only want to note that everything went smoothly ... UNTIL package installations completed. I never got the "congrats, Reboot" screen. After package installation reached 100% (2318 packages), the next screen kept painting, over and over--for hours. It eventually dropped to an Anaconda error screen. The OK button did successfully reboot the system. My anacdump.txt is attached--not sure whether attachments are allowed, though. So please advise if I should send this file differently. -nina - Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.202.595.7777; sip:janina@xxxxxxxx Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina@xxxxxxxx Linux Foundation http://a11y.org -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
