I have a scratched DVD. When I hit continue from the test dialog box I

of this infinite loop was a hard reboot. There should be other
recovery options.
I found that the continue button after testing my F9 beta i386 DVD
(which passed the test) also ejected the disk and showed that same empty
'OK' dialog. The system had to restart, then I inserted the disk again,
and this time did not test.
So that problem happens if you pass the test or not. In the past I
think that the buttons available at that point in anaconda were
different, where you had to eject the current disk before continuing
whether it passed the test or not. You then got the choice to continue
or test another disk. If you continued you had to reinsert the first
disk. This weird dialog may be a problem in how that was changed for
single DVD disk tests rather than testing multiple disks?
I forgot to mention that the errors shown in console for anaconda while that
'OK' dialog was shown (before I restarted the machine) indicated that it had
failed to mount the ISO image, but unfortunately I didn't capture any of those
messages. I think it was a post-test mount that failed, but can't be sure since
I didn't check the console until it had failed.
