Thanks everyone for the advice. Here's what helped; 1. Boot from Linux Rescue/Knoppix check partition table integrity with QTParted then run fsck. Reported no obvious faults.
2. Reinstall, testing FC6 media (no errors). Past the mysterious 3% point on install now, and well into disk 2. Not sure what fixed it, but checking carefully and starting again seemed to help. Other things that were useful to know. - e2fsck option - Fedora Live CD at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/projects/live/ Thanks again for all your advice.
