Hi:

I´m new in Linux and I´m trying to install Fedora Core 3 in my computer as a second OS.
When running Anaconda I get several dialog boxes with title "Bug" and saying:

"Assertion (heads < 256) at disk_dos.c:486 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed"

"Assertion ((C*heads + H) *sectors + S==A) at disk_dos.c:495 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed"

"Assertion (heads < =63) at disk_dos.c:490 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed"

After this, the insatalation exits.

Can someone give some help on this?

I´m using an AMD k6-2 450 MHz with windows Me. I have 2 HDD, one (master) with 120 GB and the other ( slave) with 8.5 GB. 320 MB of RAM.
I have two partitons on the 120 GB HDD, the boot one and the other empty. I want to install Linux on this partition.

Thanks.
Joao

Hi:

The update to Anaconda I found on the link you gave solved the problem.

Thanks!
