More FC3 install problems

[Graeme Nichols]

Hello Folks, After getting over the media check failures of FC3 I am now 
encountering the following error that pops up straight after selecting 
the keyboard. It is as follows:

BUG
Assertion (heads >0) at disk_dos.c:485 in function 
probe_partition_for_geom() failed
96

BUG
Assertion (sectors<=63) at disk_dos.c:490 in function 
probe_partition_for_geom() failed
96

Clicking on the right button (can't remember what it was labelled now) 
resulted in a revolving hourglass cursor and a very long wait. Clicking 
on the 'Ignore' button resulted in aborting the install.

I have tried the suggestions in the http://www.fedorafaq.org/
website (boot: linux ide=nodma) but no joy.

Has anyone come across the same problem? If so, what is the workaround?

My system is P4 3G, 512 Mb RAM, hda 200G (Win XP SP2), hdb 40G (FC2), 
Radeon 9800XXL video and the usual hardware. The system is a Medion 
(German make/design)

TIA
