Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 55697
Setup Hangs after the installation type is chosen.
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:38:01 EDT
Description of Problem: While installing Redhat 7.1, when i got to the second disk, for some reason it couldn't mount it. So i had to reboot the computer. In any case, from then on setup would hang every time after i would select the installation configuration (Workstation, Server...). To fix it i had to go into rescue mode and run fdisk to clear out all the partitions the previous setup created. After this the setup no longer hung. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat 7.1 Standard (The free one, whichever that is.) How Reproducible: Easy Steps to Reproduce: 1. Instal as a server and reset the machine when it asks for the second CD. 2. Try to install it again, it hangs (or at least did on my box) after u choose what kind of installation u want. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: I'd guess it has something to do with reading the partition information after u choose the installation type. But i'm no expert. Anyways, just though I'd help you guys out. Michael
I was unable to reproduce this behavior. I did an install, and when prompted for the second cd, I pressed Reset. I rebooted, ran the install again, and was able to view the partition table and continued the install with no problems. Resolving as 'worksforme'. I don't know why your machine would have behaved differently.
