Could you please attach the logfiles to this report as well? I would like to track this information here, and cannot access the support ticket you referred to. I do not know of any issues with installation regarding hangs other than being related to bad media (if you look on cntl-alt-f4 when the machine hangs do you see lots of IDE issues) or a kernel bug. Created attachment 90968 [details]
install.log and install.log.syslog (cat'ed) from failed installation
As requested.
"Hang" means "freezes" -- i.e., no num-lock or other keyboard action, no cpu or disk activity. I can try to grab a v-console before it hangs and capture info that way. It would be interesting what is on VC4 when the machine hangs. Can you capture it with a digital camera? While working with RH support on this same problem in 8.0, we seem to have a problem with an OEM Bios for the Adaptec 29140N controller. The motherboard is actually an Intel 840, not a 440. The Bios for the controller was modified by Micron when the machine was made in April of 2000, and has not been updated since. Meanwhile Adaptec has several Bios updates, including some in support of Linux. They believe, and Micron confirms, that 29140N updates may hose the Micron machine. So I appear to be stuck with an obsolete Bios, unless I replace the entire controller (which may also nuke the machine). I can't prove this is the case (not willing to sacrifice my dual processor workstation for the cause), but neither can I waste your time if I can't bring my Bios up to date. Consequently I'll close this incident and install on different hardware. |
