From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5.1) Gecko/20031120 Description of problem: Install is hanginging on my IBM Intellistation Z Pro (6221-42U) after probing the video card and monitor for a graphical install. lspci shows the card to be "nVidia Corporation NV18GL [Quadro4 NVS AGP 8x] (rev a2)", pci did=0168. The monitor (IBM P260 6552-23N) is probed, but on the other virtual console I can see that the probe has complained that it got bad data. The card supports dual head and had a splitter cable out the back to two of the older type 25pin connectors. Installing 'linux headless' works, although I hit another install hang with post install processing at 50%, which I'll open a defect on separately. None of noprobe, skipddc, noapic, apm=off, acpi=off, pci=noacpi, nofb, text, smp/up, or mem size make any difference.
