Okay, I seem to have gotten the installation to work. I added the acpi=off and mem=1000M to the vmlinuz command and then the install worked swimmingly. I'm not sure which of these commands actually did the magic though. In retrospect, I should have tried this earlier, but I get worried when I'm changing lines like that and I don't really know what's happening. Does adding just "nohz=off highres=off" to the boot options work? I did a sort of mock install and "nohz=off highres=off" did seem to be working. Then I changed my grub.conf file to use these options instead of "acpi=off". I don't know what they mean, but I'm assuming your suggestion was made because these two options are less disruptive than the acpi=off one. Is that correct?

Is that correct? Yes, acpi=off is only a last resort. Is it possible to use "nohz=off highres=off" with preupgrade or do I need to go back to a DVD? This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. I encountered the same problem installing Fedora 17 on a Dell Optiplex 760. The "nohz=off highres=off" kernel parameters during the installation solved the problem for me as well. Thanks! |
