Description of problem: When I try to install FC2 I run in the same problem for 2 weeks now: when it seems the CD has to be changed, no message is shown, and the CD is not ejected so the installation fails. I have tried to prevent the CD-change by using a DVD. This also fails, since as soon as it seems the actual installation is done and the reboot prompt should appear, no prompt appears. The CD's have been tried on 2 different CD drives, with the same result. In both cases the computer hangs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert the boot-CD/DVD and reboot 2. Follow the instructions 3. When the actual installation starts, at the point where the next CD should be inserted or the installation from DVD is ready and the computer should reboot, the computer hangs. No messages to change the CD or to reboot. Actual results: FC2 cannot be installed Expected results: FC2 installation to continu (prompt for CD change or reboot (DVD) Additional info: I have downloaded a total CD-set from two different mirrors and burned them. Further, I have tried CD's and DVD to try to install FC2. All CD's pass the mediacheck and their MD5-sums are correct. All have the same result. Motherboard: Asus P4P800 (I use the patch CD) Processor: Intel 2.8 GHz Harddisks: 2 x Maxtor 120 Gb SATA DVD/CD-drive: NEC DVD RW 2500A Asus CD-S520/A RAM: 1 Gb The installation on another computer (Dell Inspiron 8200) went allright.
I have used both CD/DVD-drives in my previous computer to install FC1. No problem there.
Are there any error messages listed on tty3 or tty4?
I'm sorry I wasn't able to react earlier. I am not able to access any of the other consoles. It doesn't matter whether I install via CD or DVD - the computer just hangs without any other information, or at least without me being able to access that information.
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.
