Most systems will continue if you wait a few minutes. Some combination of: clocksource=acpi_pm and/or floppy.allowed_drive_mask=0 added to the kernel boot options should make it work. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. Bugs involving the installation process cannot usually be resolved after release date. We therefore ask reporters to use one (or both) of the following options: 1) Test with a Fedora Unity re-spin. These can be found at http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins and include updates for installer bugs which may resolve the problem for you. 2) Test with an Alpha, Beta or Release Candidate for the next version. These can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease and by testing these we can work to resolve any installation issues so that the final release is free of such bugs. However if the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few weeks if there is no additional information lodged. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
