The system starts and when it comes to the first text based screen (language selection or any other first screen according to the boot parameters) the system hangs. In fact I cannot see if the system actually hangs or only the keyboard does not work. Note: This problem does not occur with FC1 and the problem still continues with FC3T1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start installation on a Toshiba A30-151 2.Boot with any parameters 3.Try pressing any key Actual Results: The system does not answer, hangs. Expected Results: I should have been able to navigate via keyboard. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
