Description James Boothe 2006-08-07 19:18:45 UTC
Description of problem: The ftp install causes a kernel panic when trying to
grab the stage 2 image. Sorry I don't have a capture of the panic messages. Due
to ncurses puking and covering up most of the output. This happened three times
on my machine (AMD Athlon 1100Mhz, 1GB Ram, VIA RhineII ethernet). 



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use "linux askmethod" at boot or boot from boot.iso and then choose ftp
install. After entering network information and repository it immediately kernel
panics.

  
Actual results:
Kernel Panic

Expected results:
Begin download of stage2 anaconda

Additional info: I tried ths three times. The first time I had unchecked IPV6
and DHCP and went with stnadard NAT information, then used the
mirror.colorado.edu repo. 

Second attempt I changed repos but still used the same networking config.

Third attempt I used a different repo as well as letting it use DHCP and left
IPV6 checked.

This works for us here -- any chance you can get some of the panic trace?

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2007-04-06 19:31:16 UTC
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
