output of 'lspci -vv'
we've disabled apic support altogether now for the installer kernel, so this is now fixed.... Works for me, but doesn't that have the potential to make installation impossible on big servers with lots of PCI busses? |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: This is a regression from Red Hat 8.0 and the first public "Phoebe" beta. I see hangs at various early points in the installation process, which I will try to summarize below. 1) Warm boot (from Red Hat 8.0) - Installer hangs after "running /sbin/loader" appears on the console; blue screen never appears. One of the consols says something about waiting for USB to become sane. 2) Cold boot, normal CD-ROM install - Installer hangs approximately 50% through checking first CD; no error message anywhere. 3) Cold boot, "linux askmethod" - Installer hangs as soon as method is selected; "OK" button stays in "depressed" state. None of these problems appear if 'noapic' is specified on the BOOT kernel command line, amd the SMP kernel with APIC support appears to work fine once installed. This is an Abit VP6 with two 1 GHz Pentium III processors and 512 MB or memory. I will attach the output of 'lspci -vv'. Let me know if you want anything else. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description. 2. 3. Actual Results: Installer hangs. Expected Results: Installer doesn't hang. Additional info:
