Are you installing over a previous version of Linux with volume groups? I have seen this problem with FC6 in numerous posts. The problem stems from a bug that causes the installation to hang when there is a dash in the volume group name, e.g. "FC5-Vol00". That might be the place to look for an answer. Just a thought. <div>On 10/10/06, Guy Fraser <<a href="mailto:guy@incentre.net">guy@incentre.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I thought I would give it a go, so I got the DVD using the torrent. 1) The Media test failed, but the sha1sum was correct. 2) The install would not progress past the X cursor. The system I tested it on is a tricky beast. It has SATA, SATA RAID and PATA drives, as well as a dual head nVidia AGP 8X video card. During start up both SATA chip sets were found, and apparently the standard nVidia driver works. >From what I could tell, there was no disk activity once the X cursor was displayed. I flipped through the pseudo terminals and did not notice any errors. When I get another chance to test, I will try a text install then I will disconnect the SATA drives like I had to do to get FC5 to install, and see how far I get then. Question: Does the installer scan all drives for previous installs? If it does, then that might explain the apparent inactivity. I use the machine as a video archive server, and have over a terrabyte of storage. I am not certain if reading from all drives are indicated on the HD LED so it may not appear to be doing anything. -- fedora-test-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com"> fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> </blockquote></div>
