From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Installer hangs after detection of monitor. Seems like 109591 but Fedora Core 1 does work on this machine. Does work: Fedora Core 1 Crashes: Fedora Core 2 (test1, test2) Monitor: Samtron 51S Graphics Card: Leadtek WinFast 250A (GeForce4 Ti 4200) CPU: Pentium 4 2400 MHz Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert FC2 disk 1 and try to install 2. 3. Actual Results: Hang after detection of monitor. Is able to reboot system after repeatedly pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete Expected Results: Sucessful install Additional info: Has verified installation media. "linux headless" bypass the problem but in this case the installer chrashes at a later stage.
Does linux text work? If you use linux headless and switch to tty2, what happens if you run ddcprobe? Are the keyboard lights flashing when it hangs?
Linux text does not work, this mode has the same problems as the default install mode. Running ddcprobe produces the following info: Videocard DDC probe results Description: Leadtek Research Inc. NV25 Board Memory (MB): 64 Monitor DDC probe results Monitor DDC probe failed The keyboard lights are not flashing when the install hangs.
Does the video card have more than one output? Could you try plugging your monitor into the other one?
The other outputs are DVI and S-video outputs. My monitor does not support DVI so I cannot plug it into the other output. Here is a link with the specs for my monitor: http://www.samtron.com/product/51s_spec.html
The bug still exists in test3. I have made some tests on FC1 as well. FC1 is not able to detect my monitor so there is no regression in the monitor detection code. The regression is that the installer crashes, maybe due to the misdetection of my monitor. I am willing to do further tests to solve this problem.
Found out that the problem is not related to the screen but to the printer attached. My printer makes the system hang. Unplugging it causes the install to proceed as normal. My printer is an Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300W.
