System log files from SR870BH2 gui install failure

Install fails same way on Dual Intel SR870BH2 system with 1.4GHz/4MB cpus

Both an NEC LCD1850X and a Gateway XVGA monitor report scan out of range.

John, I'll try to see if we have a similar box in house.

We've hit a recent snag in trying to get ISO images out.  I'll try to connect
with Yanmin about figuring out a way to get new ISOs out for you to try an
install with...

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.]


Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-12 14:46:34 UTC
Even after almost three months there has been no activity on these bugs, so we
consider them obsolete and they are being closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

Please, if you are able to reproduce this bug on currently supported (FC6 and
F7) non-test distribution, or if there is any other reason why this bug should
be kept alive, please, reopen, change the product to something more recent and
add an additional information to the comment of such bug.

Thank you very much.
