I prepared a 256gig drive, I downloaded the version version indicated, and verified the download using md5sum. The checksums matched.

I have three disks on that computer, with /sda emptied. The loader allows me to specify the disk, and to use the entire disk.

After I tell the installer which disk to use (use entire disk), and my first user has been entered the problem appears.

The install begins and in a few seconds an orange pop-up box appears about some value missing. This message dos not persist.

This box appearance appears during the test for verifying the selected installation files. After that, there is lockup –

I tried to bypass using GUI install by using text, and the identical problem was presented.

The motherboard is an Intel model, about 5 years old. The processor is a dual core version. This computer works with Fedora and Debian (one on each of the two remaining disks).

I cannot get a log file, since the only available action is to reboot.

I do not have a VM software to run the installation under VM.

I chose all the defaults, but the keyboard. The keyboard I use is Canadian French.

You can see the logs using the virtual terminals. ctrl-alt-(f-key, F1, F2, through F10). Try doing custom partitioning.

Your post is a bit short on details.

Is this possibly due to Bug 847153

or perhaps Bug 834646.

The first of those bugs is reportedly fixed (for the final release). The second of those does allow you to continue the install, so it can be ignored though it is annoying.
