Description Rob Hutton 2009-11-24 21:07:56 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Installing on Dell GX760 from DVD.  Installations seems to hang at multiple locations until keys are pressed on the keyboard.  For instance, progress bar sits with very small amount showing, then when swapping to virtual console 3 (I think it was 3), it says "Starting udev..." and sits until some key is pressed.  Looks like specifically left ctrl kicks things along.  Also does it at "Loading drivers" and "Probing hardware".  Have downloaded the DVD and reburned on two different computers and does the same thing.

Have to move the mouse around once in graphics mode for it to update until all drivers were loaded, then it updates on its own.

Reproducible: Always

Do not get any files in /var/log/Yast2.

Do not see any /dev/sd* or hd* devices, so I can't mount my USB stick to copy off hwinfo.

Some other weirdness.  The problems seems to me to be interrupt related (or something that causes similar behavior) because the keyboard does not act normally even in a console.  There are times when keys are duplicated two or three times with a single keypress, but it does not seem to be a short repeat time because the next key does not repeat.

Same as 548108.  ACPI-off gets through the install
