Can you look on VC3 and VC4 and see if there are any error messages? VC3 shows some errors about not being able to autopartition the drive. VC4 shows a lot of stuff like: <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 3:06 (hda) sector 293941 <4>hda: read_intr: status=0x59 (DriveReady, SeekComplete, DataRequest Error) <4>hda: read_intr: error=0x40 (Uncorrectable error), LBAsect 43296, sector 265585 The drive is running in "normal" mode, not LBA according to the BIOS. Drive has also been partitioned manually, using DiskDruid. Specs for the drive can be found here: http://www.computerhope.com/hdd/hdd0024.htm I've tried it in both normal and LBA types. Ok...take a look at bug #38645. I think that this may be the behavior that you are seeing. Try booting with 'linux ide=nodma' Does this fix the problem? Nope, still happening, but later on in the installation now - somewhere around 123mb. CDROM is a Creative "Hex Speed". Options used for the installer are "linux updates ide=nodma text". Got a copy of Slackware7.1 here, so I'll see if it's this PC or not. Ok. Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98) Installer dumps out trying to install an anaconda module. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use advisory ID RHBA-2000:084-04 fix disk for installer 2. Install "server system". 3. Installer will dump out while installing packages, somewhere around 90mb installed. Actual Results: Installer dumped out later than before I'd used the patch disk. Expected Results: It should have installed properly.
