Ok, I also have tried Fedora Core 2 and I am seeing
the same problem. I did the CNTL+ALT+F1 through F4 to
get to a virtual console. I checked the install.log
file and see the following error.
Installing glibc-common-2.3.3-27.i386
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/lib/locale/da_DK.iso885915/LC_TYPE: 4147659c:
cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
I have looked online and tried once again a couple of
things. Changed SDRAM, tried booting with linux
ide=nodma. Still nothing.

Are you certain you have enough free space on the hard
drive? The
pre-install check isn't really complete.
