Unable to boot after installation with updated CD set
Last modified: 2008-08-01 12:22:52 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: A set of updated CD are created (using genhdlist and buildinstall) with kernel 2.4.18-5. The installation part with the CD's completes without any errors, but when booting the PC, the only text printed to the screen is: GRUB Loading stage2... and the everything stops - I'm not even able to change VT3 or VT5. The problem exists on kickstart installations as well as "interactive/manual" installations. An updated CD set built with kernel-2.4.18-4 does not have this problem (at least I have never seen it on the installations I did with my 2.4.18-4 based CD set). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build new CD image set using genhdlist, buildinstall, kernel-2.4.18-5 2. Install from updated CD 3. Boot after installation Actual Results: System freezes during boot Expected Results: The GRUB boot-menu should have been displayed Additional info:
Probably related to #67342 and #67441.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
