Description Sam Varshavchik 2000-07-22 16:43:44 EDT

GUI beta4 fresh install.  Workstation install, gnome+kde+games.  ABIT BP6
dual celery motherboard, 256 MB ram, adaptec scsi controller, scsi HD and
CD-ROM.

I used updated 07212000 image to run the GUI installer.

"Performing post-install configuration" dialog went up to about 1/5th of
the way through, then hung for something like 10 minutes.  I think I've
read previous reports of anaconda hanging like that.  I didn't see
any process burning up any CPU time, strace showed nothing unusual.  The
couple of strace-able anaconda processed were waiting for I/O.  One was
selecting something, the other one was polling something.  The remaining
anaconda processes weren't straceable, they were probably threads.  And   
the X display was being refreshed, so it wasn't an X lock-up.
     
Anaconda basically stopped for about 7-10 minutes, then continued on
through.  There were a couple of clues regarding what got broken: after
the reboot, there was no /etc/issue, and the machine name was set to
localhost.localdomain.

I believe that this has to be some sort of random glitch that does not    
always happen, and is not specific to beta4.  It feels like a python
or an X bug.
