<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This is my final status.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I downloaded and burned a copy of Fedora
9 Unity Re-Spin and had the same type of failures, but here's what I learned:</font>
<ol>
<li value=1><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I like to and always define
individual volume groups for my file systems and for this system I had
created the following under Fedora 8, osvg00 (contains /(root), /usr, /home,
etc.); datavg00 (for my 'sharable' data), etc. With all of the releases
up to Fedora 9 I never had a problem doing this during the install. By
doing multiple install attempts using Fedora 9 x86_64, I noticed that when
I got lazy and didn't define the LV for any file system other than the
OS required, it proceeded all the way to what appeared to be the final
packages.</font>
<li value=2><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fedora 9 i386 installed completely
even with all the custom file systems defined (just for install testing
only)</font>
<li value=3><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fedora 9 x86_64 installed as
long as I allowed the default file system structure to be in effect.</font></ol>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My final solution was to do a fully
customized install of Fedora 10 x86_64, which included Oracle 11gR1 database,
a customized Apache, Eclipse, Joomla, and Tomcat. All went perfectly
without a hitch or issue. Also, looking back on some old notes, I noticed
that I had not done anything but a upgrade since I had to do a full install
when I converted to SATA disk drives. This was the first real upgrade in
2+ years!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So thanks to all who gave advice and
direction! For documentation I used a combination of the ISPConfig
'The Perfect Server' and 'Fedora 10 - Personal Installation Guide' from
www.mjmwired.net and last but not least, 'Oracle Database 11g Release 1
(11.1) Installation on Fedora 10 (F10)' from www.oracle-base.com. </font>
