Can you switch to VC4 (cntl-alt-f4) when it hangs? If so could you tell us what the last 10 lines say?

Is there no solution for this issue?
So the USB controller is the only difference between successful and unsuccessful 8.0 installs?
Yes, it failed with VIA VT6202 (PCI card), but succeed with onboard VT8235. Other H/W configurations are the same.
Perhaps this is a know kernel issue.
Does this still fail for RHL 9? The ehci-hcd was introduced in RHL 8, that's probably what is failing.
