I am a noob so let me know what other info you need and I will provide.
Created attachment 218371 [details] Actual screen pic of where F8 gets stuck
I am not sure if this is an issue with LVM or an issue with something that the system is trying to load after LVM volumes are found. I have anyway filed another bug [Bug 320691], this time for a F8T3 Live CD installation: anaconda would crash after LVM volumes selection on the partitioning screen.
Team, This issue is also happening on a fresh installation of F8. I can use F8 fine form a live cd but after installing F8 I get this issue. Can anyone help me or at least let me know who can?
I have finally removed rhgb and quiet when booting and I noticed that Fedora was hanging while "trying to resume from (swap device)". I then deleted all swap partitions and now it stops at "Creating root device". I am not the only one: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=171223&page=3 http://www.nabble.com/Fedora-8-install-hangs-at-the-message-%22Creating-root-device%22-p13688351.html
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
