Description

See also Bug 696729 , the subsequent attempt at a live dvd install. The traceback may have information applicable here too. For the record, I cleaned out the two linux partitions (sda2: 500M, Linux, sda3: 100G Linux LVM) using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda{2,3} bs=32K". Then I deleted the partitions again with fdisk and rebooted. The next run with use all free space completed without incident. Since the hang happened at least 3 times before I wiped the disk, it sure seems like something was picking up data from the disk and choking on it. I'd have expected that a command that wipes all data on the disk, to not care what was on the disk.
When it hangs, can you use the keyboard to switch to tty2 (ctrl-alt-f2) and see what processes are running? Or, is the machine completely frozen? This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 |
