From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: The bug is two-fold. 1. The FC2 for x86_64 CD freezes during the hardware probe. You can work around it by typing in "linux noprobe" at the boot prompt. 2. The CD Test screen appears before the hardware probe is done. Ergo, what the user sees is the CD Test screen when the computer freezes. Here is the hardware configuration in question: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R mainboard with onboard Promise 378 SATA RAID Athlon64 3000+ 512MB ATI Radeon 9600XT graphics card 160GB IDE HD SoundBlaster Audigy2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD using the hardware configuration described. 2. 3. Actual Results: The system froze when the CD Test screen appeared Expected Results: The install should have proceeded normally. Failing that, the user should have been given some indication that it was the hardware probe generating the crash, and that he could use the "linux noprobe" option to proceed with the install.
