Description Aaron Metzger 2004-05-20 11:40:12 UTC
Description of problem:  
Computer reboots/resets immediately after the boot prompt of Fedora
Core 2 final when booted from installation disc1 on a VIA EPIA M10000
motherboard.  The same computer installed and ran Fedora Core 2 Test 3
without issue.  The same Fedora Core 2 final installation media works
on other computers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 2 installation disc 1
VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard.

How reproducible:
100% with VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot from installation disc1
2.  At boot prompt hit enter or "linux text" enter
3.  Computer reboots immediately
  
Actual results:
Computer resets.

Expected results:
Installation continues without reset.

Additional info:
The VIA EPIA M10000 has on board graphics hardware which has always
been difficult for RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1, and Fedora Core 2 Test 3
but with each I've at least been able to install in text mode and with
 Test 3 was able to do a graphical install for the first time.  I
don't know if Fedora Core 2 final is more or less sensitive to
graphics hardware or if indeed this has anything to do with the reset
problem.

I have the same problem on an Asus P4P800 Deluxe. The CD was tested
and booted fine on another system. It installed Fedora Core 1 and
Windows 2000 without an issue.

It crashes immediately after "Loading initrd.img.............". It
seems to start displaying text on the next screen but it reboots
before I can see it (even with the Pause/Break key).

Same problem as in bug #123831  with the VIA ezra.
With that hardware also on "loading the initrd.img ......." it just
reboots himself.
