From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) I am performing a kickstart install over ftp or http, and right after it says 'loading aic7xxx module', the installer hangs. Unfortunately, the box is remote and I cannot determine if it would also occur if using the CD. I have copied the contents of the bootnet.img onto an existing RH 6.2 system, then editing etc/lilo.conf to boot that vmlinuz with append="console=ttyS0,9600 ks". This has worked beautifully with RH 7.0 on these machines, but 7.1 fails Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start 7.1 install using boot floppy 2. 3. Actual Results: Box froze - had to powercycle. Expected Results: Install continues.
I experience the same problem for a plain CDROM upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 for my system. My system has one IDE (boot) and 2 SCSI disks (/ and /home).
Changing component to the kernel since the installer is trying to load the driver. Resolving as a dupe of bug #37571. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37571 ***
