Description Axel Thimm 2008-02-16 20:49:12 UTC

Description of problem:
The x86_64 installer does not start on a T2310 laptop, the vmlinuz images are
reported to be corrupt. Prepending with /boot or similar does not help. Using
the i386 DVD makes the install start.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to boot from F9 alpha x86_64 DVD
2.
3.
  
Additional info:
Probably not related at all, but maybe it gives a hint: the install from the
i386 DVD required nohz=off to make it past /sbin/loader.

The laptop is a Toshiba L40-16d.

They boot fine on hardware I've got...  does the DVD boot on another drive?  It
could just be a bad burn

Comment 2 Axel Thimm 2008-02-21 04:31:15 UTC

I checked the DVD and it was OK. But I used subsequent pxeboot images from
rawhide and managed to get a bit farther, so maybe the issue is gone.

Should we keep this in needinfo until F9 beta is released and I provide some
feedback again? Or if you tell me to test some interim ISO I'll gladly do so.

Comment 3 Axel Thimm 2008-02-21 10:11:06 UTC

BTW I didn't change NEEDINFO to NEW, changing it back.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 05:14:17 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Couldn't reproduce with GA.
