From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: Doing a GUI install with 128MB Ram seems to result in a reboot after the packages selection has been made. The install seems to work ok in text mode install. Perhaps the could be a recomeneded ram size next to the install option or on the boot screen or maybe anaconda could warn or force the install into text mode if the ram is a certain figure. I have seen the GUI install work with 192MB Ram. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda on FC2 install cd How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: I have not had this problem my self but have seen a couple of people in #fedora that have experianced it. Additional info:
Works fine here with mem=128M Does your system use base memory, for video. When you are installing could you hit ctrl-alt-f2 and grab the output of free and cat /proc/meminfo and append it to the report.
I have no further info to give I am afraid. I have not had this issue myself and dont have a machine available to test with 128. I does sound probable that some ram is being stolen by video. I should have thought about that myself. All the couple of people i saw in #fedora that had the issue managed to install using the text install with out problems. If i get another oportunity I shall try and get some further info. James
