Comment 2 Ionut Radu 2008-03-04 19:07:32 UTC 
Installation goes smoothly when using Fedora Core 6 or Fedora 7 DVDs.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2008-03-10 13:35:18 UTC 
Are there any obvious error messages displayed on tty3 or tty4?
Comment 4 Ionut Radu 2008-03-10 22:03:26 UTC 
First of all I must apologize. The last messages displayed on tty1 are :

running install...
running /sbin/loader

Last messages from tty3 are :
23:49:12 INFO    : loaded ext3 from /modules/modules.cgz
23:49:12 INFO    : loaded ext2 from /modules/modules.cgz
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/cramfs.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/fat.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/vfat.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/sunrpc.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/lockd.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/nfs_acl.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/nfs.ko
23:49:12 INFO    : inserted /tmp/loop.ko

Last messages from tty4 are :

<6>Freeing unused kernel memory: 280k freed
<4>Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 844k
<6>loop: module loaded
<6>input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input2

After about 5 minutes another messages appeared on tty4 (they weren't there
initially) :
<7>APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)
<7>APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)
<7>APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)
<7>APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)

They are keep appearing. However the installation has no other progress.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

thanks,
Ionut.

It seems that after another 10 minutes the installation screen appeared.
I modified the bug to "NOTABUG". Installation is not really stuck, but very very
slow. Sorry for the inconvienience.
