From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: When I try to install Redhat 7.2.93, it always hangs in the post-installation stage. I've tried several configurations (with Gnome, without, changing the packages to install, etc.). I always install redhat from a local harddrive (iso images @ /dev/hdb1). It may be related to my new harddrive, a IBM Deskstar 80Mb (@ /dev/hda). Redhat 7.2 installed like a charm in my old hd, and nothing else has changed in my computer). My partition in /dev/hda are: Devide Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2551 4463 15366172+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 4464 9900 43672702+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda4 9901 10011 891607+ 82 Linux swap If I stay in the 3rd console when anaconda reachs the post-install stage, the last thing that I see is: [snip] Detected 256M of memory Swap attempt of 256M to 512M hdb1 is a protected partition When I enter in the semi-installed partition using "linux rescue", when I logout from the shell, I've got a "kernel panic" (kernel panic log attached). I've also attached the log from install.log, but I don't see anything weird there. In the /tmp directory, there were 3 files: install.log, install.log.syslog (empty), and texconf.2bZY8A (it's also empty). I've not seen the "7.3 beta2" version in bugzilla, so I'm logging this bug agains 7.2. Cheers, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install with everything by default Actual Results: The installation process hanged Expected Results: Linux installed in my hd Additional info:
Created attachment 54724 [details] Install log
Created attachment 54744 [details] text obtained when I logout from the "rescue" mode
Have you tried a minimum install in text mode?
I've tried the minimal install in text mode, and it has worked! I've also tried a more heavy-weight install (also in text mode), and it has also worked. I should add that in my firsts attempts, I was also installing RedHat using the text UI, but that I was typing "text" at the linux install boot. I think that the install was using the text UI because it was able to detect my graphic card (it's a ATI Radeon PRO 128). Anyway, now its working ok. If you need some additional info to track down this bug, don't hesitate to ask for additional data. Thank you very much for your hint! Cheers,
...but I was *NOT* typing "text" at the linux install boot. I think that the install was using the text UI because it was *UNABLE* to detect my graphic card... Sorry, I wrote this sentence in the exact opposite meaning...
Thanks I'm glad to hear its working now!
