Description of problem: During an install boot on an rx4640 w/qlogic FC card the install dies after the "loading qla2300 driver" with: loader received SIGSEGV!. Backtrace: [0x40000000000033e0] [0xa0000000000107e0] [0x4000000000082711] [0x4000000000080100] [0x400000000006faa0] [0x4000000000066650] [0x4000000000007920] [0x40000000001372f0] [0x4000000000000280] install exited abnormally Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.16-1.2202_FC6 (worked last week so I will determine which rev this first broke in) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the latest install kernel on ia64 w/qlogic FC device 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
worked OK in the 0506 tree w/ kernel-2.6.16-1.2195_FC6 broken in the 0510 tree w/ kernel-2.6.16-1.2200_FC6
I just hit this on a system that does NOT have a qlogic card and I get the same resutls. So, not sure exactly what causes it but appears to not be the qla2300 driver.
A little more info... The above was seen when I did a kickstart install. If I do an interactive install the system is very slow and unresponsive and eventually appears to just hang (however it might just be REALLY slow).
This problem appears to have gone away with the latest rawhide builds. I will re-open if I see it again.

Fixed in 1.2.63-1.
