Created attachment 350275 [details] lspci Description of problem: I am unable install F11 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo P5710. Both the DVD install and preupgrade lock-up on "Waiting for Hardware to initialize ..." usually without any further message. [once an invalid opcode message had been printed on the screen afterwards; however, this I cannot reproduce this in a reliable way] The keyboard ends up being locked up as well, but there are no flashing leds to suggest a kernel panic. F10 works sort-of-fine (apart from having to size the memory manually). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 How reproducible: Every time an install is attempted. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt a DVD or preupgrade install Actual results: System lock-up Expected results: Anaconda setup screen Additional info: The machine has a shared memory video card; processor is a Pentium-D @3.40 Ghz. I include a copy of lspci, in case it is needed. The bug seems similar to 471375 (but the network card as well as the product version are different)
Try removing "quiet" and adding "ignore_loglevel" to the boot options to see where it hangs.
Here I go ... [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 radeon 0000:01:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=131072K, accessible=131072K, BAR=262144K This is, unfortunately, a shared memory video card.
Incidentally, I can change the amount of memory allocated to the video card to 256M by a setting in the bios. The system still locks up, the only difference being the third line which becomes (as expected) [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=262144K, accessible=262144K, BAR=262144K
The bug is definitely related to the video card (which is a RC410); I can get anaconda to start with the "nomodeset" option (no luck with X, though). Hence, it appears to be a duplicate of 498457. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 498457 ***
