Re: Redhat 7.3 install stops



I had a similar problem with my iWill KK-266Plus motherboard. I ended up configuring the BIOS to the most conservative settings ("Failsafe mode" if memory serves me, which included disabling of all DMA and concurrency features). I also added additional constraints to the installation image (e.g. "nofb"). Interesting to note that after the successful installation, I was able to restore the BIOS to my normal (i.e. more aggressive) settings without any difficulties. Also interesting to note that I never had to do this BIOS modification during installation with prior Redhat installations on this sytem.

Good Luck!

What happens is that the install process makes it all the way to the point
where is starts copying files.  It starts copying and will just stop. No
error messages.  And the point at which it stops is different everytime.  I
also can look at the virtual consoles and see no error messages indicating
any error.  I get the same results when running in text mode or graphical.
I also checked the CD's using the "linux mediacheck" and all of the CDs I
have made to date PASS.

Now I can turn around and install Redhat 7.2 on the same machine in 20
minutes without any problems.

Any ideas?
