bug report output from installer

64bit install hangs on my machine as well, when using default kde installation

Comment 5 Bit Twister 2012-02-16 20:40:49 CET

Should this bug report be marked a duplicate of bug 4144

Comment 8 Dick Gevers 2012-02-17 12:41:26 CET

Tried another install (see #4558): personalized desktop, i.e. all workstations, no servers, all WM's but now without KDE: also hangs at 23 minutes before completion of packages installation.

Comment 9 Oliver Burger 2012-02-17 14:59:07 CET

Confirming, same problem on installing when choosing all des and lots of other stuff (multimedia, games,...)

Are you using an usb key or a dvd ?

also did you see something in the tty 2 or 3 with pstree ?

Comment 11 Oliver Burger 2012-02-17 18:15:21 CET

The original post of mine (comment #4) was using an usb stick on real hardware. Sorry I didn't use pstree then.
The second one (comment #9) was using kvm and the virtual cdrom drive.
I tried to switch to a tty but don't know how to do it in the vm.

Comment 12 Dick Gevers 2012-02-17 18:54:21 CET

Mine was form DVD with same probs.

tar archive of the log files from /root/drakx/

Attached are the log files from a new "hanging" during package installation. Installation was done in a kvm virtual machine using the i586 iso as cdrom device.
"qemu-kvm -m 1024 -hda disk.img -cdrom Mageia-2-beta1-i586-DVD.iso -boot d"

xz tarred content of /root/drakx

When installing 32 bits from the debug iso: personalized selection (all workstations, all DE's, no servers), install hangs at 40 m. before the end of packages installation. Resulting logs attached.

Comment 18 Dick Gevers 2012-02-19 19:18:53 CET

But when only KDE is selected, installation does complete.

hang with cpio error

Comment 20 Thierry Vignaud 2012-02-19 21:02:48 CET

What's the df output?
Maybe too much packages were choosen?

Comment 21 Oliver Burger 2012-02-19 21:21:25 CET

I don't think so.
The last time the installation hung here, I used the default settings and just did replace kde by lxde.
I did another installation, choosing every category available (which means quite a lot more) on the sam vm and it worked.

Can you check disk space like asked?

Comment 24 Dave Hodgins 2012-02-20 17:32:48 CET

With the first iso, where I also had the hang,
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on 
/dev/sda4              20G  3.3G   16G  18% /var/mnt/magtest

When I redid the install with the latest iso, it worked.
