that happens only if my external usb harddisk connected to PowerPC. Please attach the complete error message you are seeing to this bug report. Otherwise we will not be able to fix it. where i can find it? i loop consoles from f1 to f5 and see no errors. when i try to use default installation "linux" i got same problem. after i press "next" on keyborad screen acaconda graphics installer is gone and system is stucked i unable to press any key, (no numlock, no capslock, no consoles switch) and no error output. that is 100% reproducible when i connect my external hdd (usb interface). then contain linux partition with ext3. maybe problem in partition table of my device, because they don't have first partition, only second: /dev/sda /dev/sda2 any suggestions how i can get error report? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 446453 *** that is different one So after the keyboard screen in anaconda, the computer is completely locking? That's where we are probing for hard drives to present the list of things that could be upgraded. Since the computer should never completely lock up, let's start with reassigning this to kernel. Oops, didn't mean to set this to NOTABUG. I wana participate to solve that issue. For now i have successfully installed fedora 9 on my macmini(ppc) (with temeraly disconnected my external drive for installation time) and everything functionality correctlry. I don't have problems with my external driver on installed system, but still easy to reproduce that problem with fedora 9 ppc dvd disk. If you have any suggestions i can play on my system. Can you get the sysrq key to work? Add "sysrq_always_enabled" to the boot options and see if sysrq works when the system locks up. in my opinion acanonda do somthing with keyboard, probably at this momnent hey load default keybaord driver and most keys don't work. for graphics installer i can't use keyboard in any case. for vnc install i can switch betwen consoles but i cant type in alt+f2 screen (shell screen). When i try "linux sysrq_always_enabled text" boot command, i get error message, they explain why i cant type noting, but don't explain why error raised. initial exited abnormaly[1/1] sending termination siglas .... ... you may safely reboot your system. when i press sysrq key i got standart sysrq prompt, but unable to type anything. I get the same issue on a (POWER5) P-510 LPAR. Unfortunately I can't find any kind of error message as it's a text console. It crashes whether I use VNC or the textmode install. looks similar to bug 440661 (booth bugs related to external usb devices) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 440661 *** |
