Description Daniel Powell 2001-02-26 19:24:39 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)


X installer locks every time I choose custom install. Right past the mouse 
selection comes the installation type. Click Custom, and it locks several 
seconds after i hit next.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Wolverine CDROM
2. click through to the installation type
3. Choose Custom
4. Hit next
	

Actual Results:  after 2 to 3 seconds the installer locks the machine

Expected Results:  Should continue forward in the install process

No output is available because of the hardware lock

This also locks up on text mode install.... no info given about the reason for 
the crash, even when watching the other VTs

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-27 02:34:40 UTC

Please try to switch to VC4 before the lockup occurs and try hitting
'alt-sysreq-p' to see whats going on.
