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: After getting around the FC2 graphical install hanging after video/monitor probe with a 'linux headless' install, I'm having the install hang still later with the status bar stuck at 50% "Performing post install configuration." I can switch to virtual consoles, but cannot input anything. Keyboard led's are responsive. VC three shows a few mundane messages from the install at the top of the screen. At the bottom it shows: * rhgb installed, adding to boot loader config * moving (1) to step postinstallconfig * No pcic controller detected * self.hostname = mbox.my.domain.com * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /usbfs on /mnt/sysimage/proc/bus/usb I haven't found any boot options that appear to make any difference. I've tried apm=off, noapic, noprobe, skipddc, acpi=off, pci=noacpi, smp/up, mem=128M, nofirewire, nousb, nopcmcia. Rebooting shows it hasn't installed grub yet. Manually doing that from a rescue boot gives me a really unhappy unconfigured system. The root password hasn't been set (and I can't set it...selinux wierdness?). I have successfully then done an upgrade of the mostly installed system with just 'linux headless' and the install completes, but aside from installing a few packages that were already installed, it doesn't change anything. The system boots but it seems like that 50% post install missing does some important configuration. Also, RHAS3 installs/runs just fine on this machine, FWIW. It is an IBM Intellistation Z Pro, model 6221-42U. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2. 2. 3. Additional info:
Does this still happen with FC3 test releases?
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen this bug if you have further information to add to the report.
Just to confirm, this no long happened on FC3.
