Description of problem: When trying to install 8-test3 on a Latitude D810 with an existing FC7 install, the installer stops responding during the text portion of the install after running /sbin/loader. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7.92 boot.iso How reproducible: Always, when choosing either the default or text install option Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: I can hit Ctrl+AltFx and swith screens, and hit the enter key and see the text on the screen move up, but the install boes not continue even if I walk away for a few minutes. There is no floppy drive in the notebook. I have booted from the CD/DVD drive in the drive bay. Last line on F1: screen is running /sbin/loader on F3 screen: INFO : inserted /tmp/loop.ko on F4 screen: <6>Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M Expected results: Additional info: I was attempting to do a network install. I am downloading the full DVD now to try a local install instead to compare. Fedora 7 was originally installed on this notebook from a DVD.
Apparently my patience was not long enough. I ran the install again using both the DVD and boot.iso. It pauses at /sbin/loader for 10 minutes and then continues with each one of them. I did not have this pause with the Fedora 7 install.
Does it print something about the clocksource being unstable? (on console #4) See bug 319441...
That's it. I do not see how to mark this report as a duplicate. But feel free to contact me if you need another test point. -Patrick
