Large Athlon64 box, the installer faults at RIP 0x46e480, with or without ACPI, and whether or not DNS lookups work. NFS install always crashing just after the IP adderess is obtained and the lookup of the hostname completes. Box appears to happily be running installed FC2. Alan
Can you get further for any other install type? What are the last messages on tty3/tty4? And please define "large athlon64 box" as that's not very descriptive of the hardware.
I've stripped the box down and get the same problem, so its now AMD Athlon64 ABIT KV8Pro Motherboard Radeon 9000Pro using analog output Onboard VIA velocity Gigabit ethernet One IDE DVD-ROM One IDE Hard disk Mobility electronics split bridge card USB Webcam I'll take the last two off for the next test, I forgot them last time. Not tried other install types yet.
Ok it seems to be the Webcam. If I remove the webcam then it works. USB legacy is off so it doesn't look like SMM bugs. It blows up reliably with the camera present at the address reported and just after "Reverse domain name lookup failed". With it removed it gets further. Its currently updating packages
Ok without the camera it all works, and finished an update. The camera is a creative camera using the vision chip
Post-install, if you plug the camera in, does it crash if you run kudzu -p -b USB?
It doesnt
Ok this is the webcam, its a lock/recursion between the kernel and user space when loading the driver, and fixed in the current -ac kernel
