From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) Description of problem: The install seems to work until post starts and then hangs, I do keys Ctrl-Alt-F4 and see the following <6>attempt to access beyond end of device <6>01:01: rw=0, want=4846 limit=4608 <4>Error -3 while decompressing! <4>c02a0a3c(-11791757640)->ccfda000 (4096) Workaround that RH Support gave me. Add to my kickstart disk syslinux.cfg the following to my existing 'append' line: ramdisk_size=8192 This means my kickstart ftp install needs a bigger ramdisk then the normal defualt size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.My ks.cfg and syslinux.cfg will be attached 2. 3. Actual Results: Post Install hangs with decompressing error due to ramdisk being too small. Expected Results: ramdisk size be big enough for decompressing during kickstart ftp install post section Additional info:
Created attachment 61688 [details] ks.cfg file from my kickstart ftp install disk when problem occurs
In current releases, you *must* have the ramdisk_size for things to work. We've changed the default ramdisk size in the BOOT kernel for future releases.
