Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 201106
Kernel hangs before anaconda comes up on Thinkpad z61t
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:28:11 EST
Description of problem: Trying to install rawhide on a Thinkpad z61t causes the kernel to hang the machine before anaconda comes up. It looks like it hangs trying to load the trackpoint driver. I can only give you jpegs, since this laptop doesn't have a serial port. Marking as a regression since, even though older distros won't install (FC6 Test 1 included), this failure happens earlier than the other I've been seeing.

Forgot to set high severity.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 200025 ***
Not really sure how this is a dupe; the reporter of bug 200025 says his systems are working normally. In my case, I can't even get into the installer. FC5's installer kernel works correctly (or more correctly, at least), as does FC4's.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
