Problem persists through FC3T2-candidate2 FC3-re0908.0, but acpi=off no longer helps. See also BZ #131293 - perhaps one or the other should be marked a duplicate. The problem persists for FC3T2. Booted from installation CD #1 (linux acpi=off askmethod) and attempted a network install. Starts generating errors as soon as network information is entered to the installer. Same problem for FC3 final. Took a gamble and installed kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 (on FC2 system) which required updating to modutils-2.4.26-16. Works OK with acpi=off, unlike any previous FC3 kernels since FC3T1. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. Works in FC4. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Attempting NFS upgrade of FC2 to FC3T1 in IBM Thinkpad A21p notebook. Installer freezes on first attempt to access network - Determining hostname. Can't change to a VC or reboot. Workaround is to specify acpi=off parameter to the kernel. Given frequent ACPI problems, perhaps this should be the default for intaller kernels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start anaconda installer 2. Select network install method 3. Actual Results: System freezes. Expected Results: Install should proceed.
