Description Melifaro 2005-11-22 00:02:54 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
Installer hangs for 4-5 minutes after text '/sbin/installer' appears.
After 1-2 minute display mode is switched. 
Then it shows blue installation screen, shows 2 modules loading (~one minute each). After displaying dialog asking for image media check it
completely hangs. No key combinations works. I've tried loading with combinations of flags text acpi=off noprobe mem=1024 mediacheck askemethod.
Result is the same.
