From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Fedora Core 1 for x86_64 installs all the packages correctly, but when the post install progress bar appears it locks up solid with the bar about a third of the way across. The cap lock and scroll lock lights are flashing but there are no other error messages or information to work with. I've tried disabling the other hard disk and underclocking the processor and RAM but nothing changes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go through install. 2. 3. Actual Results: Lock up. Expected Results: Normal post install configuration should occur. Additional info: Athlon 64 3200+ on Gigabyte K8NNXP with 512Mb of Corsair XMS. It has a Realtek 8169 network interface so it's probably also affected by the same bug as the Gigabyte K8N Pro board.
A text mode install should give a trace back but its probably best to wait for the 2.6 based FC2 or FC2test3 which support x86-64 way better
