I've download Fedora 5 DVD. I've done sha1sum check, all is fine. When I first ran the install, I had the installation verify the DVD, everything is fine. When i do either an upgrade or a fresh install, the system hangs on the dependency check. Thinking that I had a bad burn, I re burned a DVD, but I got the same result. Anyone else have the same problem?

Hi Robert,
Could you give some more info? F.i. what machine / architecture are you running?
Also, try checking the log from a console (ctrl-alt-f1). I did that to find that X11 failed in initialising the font, so I did a text install, which worked beautifully..
Guus.
i will try a text install, and will get back to you with system architecture.

Did U run memtest (let's say for about 3-5 cycles) ... and of course u would have had enough disk space (for things like /tmp /var) and swap working. I assume U had fedora<5 working on this machine. -- Anil Kumar Shrama
No I didn't run memtest, I'll do in a few minutes. I still have Fedora 4 on this machine. I've also had Centos and OpenSuse, and I've had no problems installing the software. Only thing I'm going to add is that I've installed Kaffeine using livna.org repository for Fedora 4, and I've also installed RubyonRail. I wonder if that could effect the dependencies.
To answer A.J. Bonnema, i did try to install using Fedora 5 using text mode, but it seemed to hang again while checking the dependencies on packages selected for install.
My system is: Asus A7V8X-X Athlon 2000 512Meg memory 32Meg Ati card DVD and CDrom-writer

The first may be a problem. The second may just be a perception of a hang. Let it run for a while and see if it finishes. An install has a lot of packages to verify dependency checks on. Time required is dependent upon system (cpu speed, memory, drive space, etc.) and installation (number of packages, etc).
Therefore it brings us to numlock / capslock should respond i.e keyboard LED indicators should flip in reasonable time (<60sec / <your paitience) else it is deadlock if there is no HDD/CD/DVD activity
and what after that
UR not (tweaking) sharing swap space between FC4 and FC5. Did U burn the disc at max speed, if all else fails, try a low speed burn or better may be a CD-LESS install. See other recent threads on some very good howto Also the other suggestion is good that U remove ATI card and install with on-board VGA/AGP.
-- Anil Kumar Shrama
The board I have does not have an onboard video card, just my run of the mill ATI Rage 128.
i did download the CD version of Fedora 5. It did the same thing. I was wrong when I said the system hung. I did an Cntl-Alt F5. What i did notice is that if I attempted an upgrade I in the CNTL-Alt F5 window I got the following:
INFO : Selected kernel package for Kernel ERROR: No Package method to remove ERROR: No Package method to remove
If I tried a fresh install, again it would APPEAR to hang, If I did an CNTL-Alt F5, the last entry would be:
INFO : Selected kernel package for Kernel

I am having the *exact* same issue.
The machine I am attempting to install FC5 on is:
Abit BD7II-RAID Intel P4 2.8Ghz 1GB Ram Plextor PX708-A DVD/CD reader/writer 2xATA hard drives (no raid) Nvidia FX5900XT Video
I started with the same deal as the original author-- started with a DVD, picked a typical workstation install, chose to install it on my available free space on my hard drive (I have a 30GB empty partition). I got all the way to checking dependancies-- and after starting for about 10 seconds, it stops.
So, my initial thought was that (despite the SHA1 sums being verified ok) the burn was "bad" somehow. So, I instead created CD's. Low burn speed, just to be sure.
Same install- same process- same result. It gets "stuck" at the Dependency check. System is still responsive (mouse, caps-lock ,etc). I let it sit overnight. No progress. (Note: on another similarly-sized system at work, FC5 did the entire depency check in about a minute). Using SAME media, I had no issues installing on a workstation at work.
The system I have at home has flawless hardware- and I've successfully installed a whole slew of operating systems, the latest of which was an install of FC3 *after* I had issues with the FC5 install. I've stressed the heck out of it with various benchmarks and hardware tests (memory, etc), all 100% clean. I can confidently say that my hardware should not be an issue.
I am not sure what is going on, but the installation setup for FC5 clearly is not ready for prime-time. I suspect it will only be a matter of time before more people come out of the woodwork with the same issue. :-o
My guess is that there's something about my hardware (I dunno, sound card?) that FC5 does not like-- but why it hangs/sticks during the dependency check is a total mystery. This is the first RedHat-based install I've *ever* had major install issues with on this machine.

The step next to dependency check may be checked.

Um, I'm not sure what you're getting at? Is there some option I have the ability to "uncheck", or..?
What he may be getting at is that the dependency check may be successful but whatever comes right after it may be the thing that hangs up and not the dependency check itself. I don't know how you would go about sorting that out, however.

I mean the step which happens next after the dependency check may be hanging, if U can know that, it may lead to some clues. May be checked in logs of a healty FC5 completed setup. Tell me what to check, My FC5 came clean, Oh I feel lucky, touch-wood!

has anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I've been facing the exact same problem for the past few days. I've tried a lot of things but still no luck.
I'm thinking (as I'm quite desperate) of installing Fedora Core 4 and then trying to install Fedora Core 5 over that.
Any other suggestions? :pint:

I missed the beginning of this thread, but I ran into difficulties upgrading from FC4 to FC5 via yum at one point. It was fixed by updating the python-sqlite package manually (rpm -Uvh ....) from the most recent rpm.

Try to disable sound. Its better to remove your soundcard completely or disable any mainboard sound support from the bios.
I had also freezes in various places, and doing so eliminated them.
