I start the install and at the "Loading cciss driver" section the install hangs. I hit the keys ctrl+alt+f3 and I see: "going to insmod cciss.o (path is NULL) I then hit the keys ctrl+alt+f4 and I see: Compaq cciss driver (v 2.4.5) cciss: Device 0xb060 has been found at bus 13 dev 1 func 0 blocks=35536800 block_size=512 heads=255, sectors=32, cyl=4355 ciss ciss0: sendcmd Error 0 ciss ciss0: sendcmd offensive info size 0 num 0 value 0 cciss: reading geometry failed, continuing with default geometry heads=255, sectors=32, cyl=4355 cciss /c0d0: (I have a blinking cursor here) Here is my config: Compaq Itanium pilot4b, 4/10 rom, 1P slot1= slot2= nc3134 slot3= 64-Bit/66-MHz Single Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter controller order 1st, 7 drives slot4= SA5300, fw ver 2.00, 4 logicals slot5= nc3134/nc6132 slot6= 64-bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter slot7= sa5300 fw ver 2.00, 4 logicals slot8= sa532 fw ver 1.08, 4 logicals slot9= nc6134 slot10= slot11= DLT tape drive On my 4th attempt at installing with this config, the hang did not occur at the "loading cciss driver". On my 5th attempt the hang occurred again, so the issue seems to be intermittent. The latest hang produces this on ctrl+alt+f4 cciss/c0d1: <4> cciss: completion of 00000000 ignored
