From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: I have a mouse attached on COM1 but I do not want to install it with Linux. When I select "No Mouse", Anaconda crashes and reboots. This occured in Red Hat 7.3 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the Anaconda program from CD 1 2. Attach a mouse to COM1 3. Select "No Mouse" Actual Results: Crash of Anaconda Expected Results: Going on with installing Additional info:
Please try a TUI based install, or use a mouse with the install. There should be no bad consequences of having a mouse detected.
TUI install? You mean the graphical installer?
Sorry - I mean boot the installer with the command line 'linux text'.
No problem :) I did install in text mode, and then that error occured.
Doing a graphical install with No mouse selected, X won't start and anaconda will fail and bail out. Although if I do the graphical install and I fake that I have a serial mouse on COM1. It works. Note that a graphical install without a mouse DOES work, although the installer advices against it. Maybe, if No mouse is selected, it could 'fake' a serial mouse on COM1 ?
I believe this is fixed in our internal tree.
