Description of problem:
Installation proccess frozen after installing all of required packages during "Performing post-install setup tasks". Maybe it's HW specific problem (Asus Eee 1015BX). Frozen screen see in the attachment (sorry for poor quality of it). At that screen netbook is completely frozen, even power button doesn't work, I had to pull out my power cord and my battery pack for reset that computer. It was installed from usb flash key, because I don't have any usb optical device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always (Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 were affected too, but I didn't report it)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/18-Beta/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
2. Check checksum of that file (it was ok).
3. Use liveusb-creator (version 3.11.6 was used - part of Fedora 14) form moving iso file to usb flash key (8GB capacity).
4. Try install Fedora 18 from usb flash key to Asus Eee 1015BX (by any way you want, different setup options picked up during installation process don't seem be important for the final result.
  
Actual results:
Installation proccess frozen after installing all of required packages during "Performing post-install setup tasks". After HW reset it's not possible to boot from HDD.

Expected results:
Installation process would be correctly finished including post-install setup, after reboot computer would be able to boot from HDD.

Additional info:
Asus Eee 1015BX

Now I noticed that a second before computer get frozen a text upon progress bar in graphical install screen (vt6) changed from "Performing post-install setup tasks" to "Install bootloader".

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 10:13:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 14:29:17 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
