Installation hangs when loading HPT366 driver
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:36 EDT
Description of problem: Installation of F8t1 hangs - no keyboard or mouse -immediately in the beginning, when I see a box "Loading pata hpt-366 driver". This happens with graphic and with text installs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put F8t1 dvd in station and boot 2. 3. Actual results: Hangs. Machine freezes. Expected results: Installation should begin. Additional info: I use Abit PB6, with SMP and two 400 MHz Celerons and 640 MB RAM, with HPT 366 connectted to two ATA disks. Hanging is so early, that I think installation has no kernel console or I don't know how to swich to it, so I see no error messages.
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged.
Closing per previous comment. If you can provide the requested information, please feel free to re-open this bug.
