Description of problem: I recently tried installing Fedora 13 on a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop (Smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_970e240b-29c8-499d-a137-d645db440137). The installer froze several times (i.e. the machine stopped responding to mouse or keyboard input) so that it took several attempts before a successfull install. After Fedora was installed it would freeze within about 5 minutes of booting. I tried changing the hard disk controller from AHCI to ATA mode in the BIOS (as this fixed a freeze during Windows 7 setup) but that did not fix it. I am currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and that works fine, with no freezes, but I would really like to be able to run Fedora 13 instead. Ubuntu has a 2.6.32 kernel, whereas Fedora has a 2.6.33 kernel, if that makes a difference. I can test new kernels, but only from a USB stick as I don't want to replace the Ubuntu install until I'm sure Fedora will work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 13 on a Vostro 3700 Actual results: Installer locks up (stops responding to keyboard and mouse input). If you manage to install then within about 5 minutes of booting the desktop locks up. Expected results: Fedora never locks up and is perfect in every way ;) Additional info: Smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_970e240b-29c8-499d-a137-d645db440137
Hi, I also have a Dell Vostro 3700, and I can confirm the above symptoms. If i connect a USB mouse during installation, the system hangs completely (HD led keeps burning) and I need to power cycle. When i install not using en external mouse, the installation finishes without issues. If I connect a mouse after the installation, the system hangs again. I also have issues doing the installation from the Fedora installation DVD. There it hangs at "mounting /tmps ....". The same happens with RHEL 6.0 b2. I'm also running Ubuntu 10.04 which is strange after years of Fedora/Red Hat. Regards, Vincent.
I'm glad someone else can confirm this issue. Just for the record, I have reproduced this issue without an external mouse.

Fedora 13 32-bit also freezes.
Latest 64-bit kernel in updates (kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64) also freezes.
Does the kernel from here work any better? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=183346 You'll have to download the proper RPM and install with: yum localinstall <package>
I tried installing that kernel onto a Live USB with persistence. I installed it with yum localinstall, then copied the vmlinuz and initrd files to /syslinux, and edited syslinux.cfg accordingly. It seemed to boot with the right kernel. However, when the login screen was displayed the screen was corrupted. I will attach a photo.

Reporting the exact problem, but not on a Dell. Instead, its on a DIY desktop using a MS Optical Mouse 1000 on USB. The mouse works perfectly with Windows Vista.
Hi, I disabled the eSATA and internal card reader, and i was able to install Fedora13_x86_64 from a live USB.
Hi, i also experience freezes on my fedora 13 64 bit system. Its a Dell Studio 1558 Notebook.
Hi, My installation of Fedora 13 64-bit on Thinkpad W510 freezes quite often. I am re-thinking my choice of this OS for my workstation. No response to mouse or keyboard - including ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+alt+F2, or ctrl+alt+F3 etc. etc. ctrl+alt+del Last few messages in /var/log/messages below:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
