Description of problem: Kernel will hard lock the system on access to the PS/2 mouse port. Install is possible with a serial mouse or in text mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 1 How reproducible: Always reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot installer with PS/2 mouse attached 2. Attempt to use graphical installer with the PS/2 mouse Actual results: System hard locks with a screen full of garbage Expected results: working mouse and no crash Additional info: The Proliant 1600 has a very odd motherboard config, where the south bridge and IO chips are behind a PCI to PCI bridge. It is an Intel 440BX chipset, with the video chip, scsi and lan on the main PCI bus, then a Digital PCI to PCI bridge to the south bridge and PCI expansion slots.
Created attachment 97471 [details] contents of /proc/pci After checking /proc/pci it looks like my first hunch was wrong. It's still a strange PCI setup, but the southbridge does look like it's in the right place.
I had this problem and solved it by starting the installation with the "nousb" command line option.
