Description Michael Radziej 2005-09-13 12:47:21 UTC

I made a fresh install and used multiple partitions, some of them LVM. About
half of the package installation went through, then the machine hangs during
installation of "kernel-default-2.6.3.13". No console switch, no numlock possible.

I will add hwinfo and log files.

Comment 1 Michael Radziej 2005-09-13 12:49:49 UTC

Strange: After Pressen Ctrl-Alt-T, Ctrl-Alt-U, Ctrl-Alt-S, Ctrl-Alt-B, suddenly
numlock and the other leds work. Don't know if this means anything.

Comment 2 Michael Radziej 2005-09-13 12:53:36 UTC

Additional Info: It was on Reiserfs, and a network install. Ctrl-Alt-System-B
rebooted the system.

Comment 3 Hubert Mantel 2005-09-13 12:54:28 UTC

Chris, could this be yet another incarnation of the bug you're currently hunting?

Comment 4 Michael Radziej 2005-09-13 13:14:06 UTC

Additional Info: I had not defined a swap partition. Reinhard Max reported to me
that he had similar symtoms in RC1 with tight memory where there was a memory
leak in YaST, which should have been fixed in RC2. After I got the logs I will
rerun the installation with swap defined.

Comment 5 Chris L Mason 2005-09-13 13:19:11 UTC

This probably isn't the same problem Andi hit.  I'll for the rerun of the install.

YaST logs

There's not much in it, but for any case ... nothing in the other log files.
I'll start another install with swap dev. Please note that this will take some
while, it's an old and slow machine.

Comment 8 Reinhard Max 2005-09-13 13:53:19 UTC

Mine also installed *much* faster when I let it use the swap.

Comment 9 Michael Radziej 2005-09-13 14:50:12 UTC

It appears to work this time. I want to wait until it is completely complete
before I close this, this will take until tomorrow morning.

Comment 10 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-13 15:03:17 UTC

Lowering priority for now.

Comment 11 Michael Radziej 2005-09-14 07:00:32 UTC

OK, installation went fine. Wild guess: Memory went out --> something important
got killed? I assign to myself since I'd like to investigate this when there's
time. Can't happen in normal cases when users have swap space.

Comment 12 Michael Radziej 2005-10-06 10:06:19 UTC

probably bug #115298. Forget it.

Michael, please explain your change of this bug's summary line.
I don't see any relation to YOU in this bug.

Reinhard, this has been fixed for sure. Forget it.
