From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The install process is killed either when the last rpm is installed/copied or after it. Booting into rescue mode after reboot the system is quite incomplete, no kernel in boot for example. Also no device files exist. This happens on a HP Compaq D530 USDT small form factor pc. The installer dies with text and graphical install. On graphical install a grey window is displayed, frozen. With text install garbled information like installation aborted can be seen. Installation on the same hardware works flawlessly with an old Red Hat 8 and Knoppix boots as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installer hangs either after or while copying rpms How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Actual Results: Install dies. Expected Results: Installation completes. Additional info: There is an integrated SATA controller on board, which I suspect might be the problem.
Can you verify your media according to the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html? Also, are the keyboard LEDs flashing at the point at which it freezes? Can you switch virtual terminals?
It was a network based NFS install.
