From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: doing a text install, selected everything for software. it goes through installing software, starts post install and hangs between the r&m (Performing ...) HARD hang, cannot access other screens for more information. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.text install 2.everything for software 3.wait for post install Actual Results: system hangs, can use reset switch to reboot Expected Results: a complete installation Additional info: using intel l440gx+ mb, 256 mb ram, fujitsu mgp3204at-e to attempt software load. will be using intel server raid controller (srcu31) when I can get OS to load. mb has onboard adaptec aic7896n which is disabled in the bios, but it is detected and a LONG timeout period ensues before the installation process will continue. all non necessary hw has been removed or disabled in bios.
Sounds like a buggy bios that allows devices to be seen although they are supposed to be disabled.
