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.
