Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-10-18 16:46:19 UTC

Any idea which screen hangs?

Comment 2 Bill Brown 2004-10-18 16:57:46 UTC

All I see is a blank screen, don't even get to first screen of 
the 'firstboot' app.

Comment 3 Suzanne Hillman 2004-10-18 18:39:05 UTC

Does this happen on multiple machines, or only one?

Comment 4 Bill Brown 2004-10-18 18:56:50 UTC

Have only tried 1 machine  (HP pavilion a450n) it was repeatable as I 
instaled (new install not upgrade) twice on the same box before I 
discovered the work around

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2005-07-06 21:57:35 UTC

This should be happier with the release.
