What kind of powerpc is this? Please be more verbose.

Also, is this before an installation (as in you're just placing FC-4 cd1 inside,
and notice this freeze), or is this after an installation is complete (i.e. it
worked fine during installation, but it seemingly fails to startup gdm)?

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 06:41:26 UTC

Mass update to all FC4 bugs:

An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream
kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the
previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already.

Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary.

Thanks.

2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2006-02-03 06:58:22 UTC

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
