Description of problem: on my HP DL380 G3, running a clean FC5test3 install fails after the filesystems are formatted and a few packages have been installed. Nothing seems to crash - i can still ctrl-alt-F2 and do a 'top' or 'ps'. it looks like the install process is blocked in the disk driver (cciss) - the disks are idle. i have only been able to install FC5test3 (on this system) by installing FC4 and then doing a yum upgrade. now if i let it boot with 2.6.15-1.1955-FC5smp it will make it through to the login screen but hang (again, it's not crashed, just blocked) shortly after that. If i use 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4smp it appears to be fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15-1.1955-FC5smp How reproducible: install FC5test3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. run a clean install (i've tried nfs and CD) (also tried upgrade from FC4) 2. all default options (i've also tried disabling ACPI and selinux and LVM) 3. Actual results: install blocks during packages install Expected results: install completes Additional info:
this works in FC5 release. by the way, can confirm that PXE/NFS/VNC install works okay.
