From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461) Description of problem: When trying to install Fedora Core 1 on a Micron PIII or P4 laptop, the keyboard locks out as soon as the first console dialog (asking whether to verify the media) appears. The same problem occurs with Red Hat 9 in that the keyboard locks when the first dialog of a text install appears. RH9 could be installed using a graphical install. Fedora cannot be installed using a graphical install due to the text based media check dialog. I saw a bug report suggesting that is is a PS/2 probe issue. I cannot plug in a PS/2 mouse as suggested as there is no external PS/2 port on the laptop! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora Core 1 from CDROM 2.Hit enter to start graphical install 3.Media check dialog appears and the keyboard is locked out Actual Results: The keyboard is completely locked out. The only thing that can be done is to power off. Expected Results: Should be able to dismiss the dialog using the tab and enter keys. Additional info:
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
