From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: I am attempting to install and run RedHat 8.0 on an IBM Thinkpad iSeries notebook (model 1171-9bu). The installation program hangs on the USB ohci driver step. After searching the web, I was able to get around that problem by specifying "boot: linux nousb" and booting directly from the cd-rom. The rest of the installation seems to have completed normally. (A complete re-partition & format of the hdd was done. The Server option was selected & some of package selection was customized.) After the install completed and the system tries to reboot, it hangs on loading the usb ohci driver. I can not get RedHat to load/boot/run because of this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to load / boot / run any bootable image (boot disk image, cd-rom) on an IBM Thinkpad iSeries notebook. Model 1171-9bu. 2. 3. Actual Results: The system load / boot hangs and does not proceed. Must power- off the notebook to recover. Expected Results: The system should load / boot properly Additional info:
This problem seems to be isolated to the specific notebook model noted above. The 8.0 install cdrom image booted successfully on an IBM Thinkpad T23 (model 2647-CU5). Also, the latest BIOS update for the iSeries (1171-9bu) was downloaded and applied.
