New Fedora 11 Install failing python assertion


Hi All,

I am trying to install Fedora 11 on an Intel Atom platform:
Intel Atom 330
Intel 945GC chipset
500GB Seagate Momentus Hard Drive
2GB PC5300 DDR2 memory

via the DVD installer. I am getting this error sometime during the dependency check (though it has varied a few times. sometimes it happens during writing the partitions to the disk)
The error reads something like:
Code:
python: modules/gcmodule.c:242: update_refs: Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs == (-3)' failed.
install exited abnormally [1/1]
I read somewhere that it might be a memory issue, but i have run the memory test, and no errors show up.

I've also tried to run the live cd, and sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs (indefinitely)

Any ideas on what can be going wrong?
Thanks.
