From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22smp i686) Regardless of the install method used, the system locked while "Initializing PC Card Devices." I am installing on an Enpower 801. Alt-F3 * in start Pcmcia() * found cardbus pci adapter * need to load yenta_socket * going to insmod pcmcia_core.o (path is NULL) * going to insmod yenta_socket.o (path is NULL) -- this is where it hangs Alt-F4 <6> Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22 <6> options: [pci] [cardbus] -- this is where it hangs This problem did not exist with the 7.0 installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Choose any install method 2. 3. Actual Results: Hangs during "Initializing PC Card Devices" Expected Results: The installation should not have locked and continued with further hardware detection. The hang occurs the same way regardless of the presence of pcmcia cards.
This appears to be a kernel bug. Changing component to kernel.
Can you do a "lspci -v" on the 7.0 system ?

hopefully fixed in current releases, please reopen if reproducable with Fedora/RHEL. Thanks.
