Description jb butet 2012-02-25 16:54:38 CET

Description of problem:
big freeze after licence acceptation. ON USb device installation, i586 and 64bits.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
beta 1

Here is syslog : 
http://ashashiwa.free.fr//images_diverses/beta1_1.jpg

and result
http://ashashiwa.free.fr//images_diverses/beta1_2.jpg

I think is a filesystem problem.

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-26 11:31:37 CET

Hi, you can switch to console 2 (by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2') during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type: 'bug' then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key.

Comment 2 Magnus Rasche 2012-02-28 22:13:59 CET

I had the same problem.
After disabling the floppy in the bios the install was ok.

Ok so it's with the floppy disk

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-29 19:31:53 CET

maybe this bug is also a duplicate of bug 4642 as I guess the stage2 use udisks ?

Comment 6 jb butet 2012-03-01 16:59:06 CET

Ok. I have more informations.

Before : I booted with install method and it freezed after licence acception form.
No way to debug.

-> I have lots of garbage on syslog (error I/O fd0 ...)

So I've disabled floppy disk (I haven't one) in Bios as Magnus said.

--> Works.

Now I have other issues.

There's no udisk in installer at all.

Thomas: is there any way to make the kernel's floppy.ko be less intrusive?

Installing Mageia-2-beta2-x86_64-DVD from dvd, I have replicated this, disabling FD in bios gave me the install / upgrade step

Comment 10 jon scsi 2012-04-15 09:31:56 CEST

folks, if you change your boot order in bios so that the usb is before the floppy, does the problem still exist? I take it the licence is there on the usb.

Comment 11 Herbert Poetzl 2012-04-17 00:03:19 CEST

no USB involved here (originally Bug 4745), so no, doesn't change a thing.

Comment 12 Thomas Backlund 2012-04-17 00:07:50 CEST

I'm thinking of patching kernel like fedora so it stops to autoload floppy everytime it finds the pnp headers

Comment 14 Thomas Backlund 2012-04-22 01:37:13 CEST

I have now disabled floppy autoloading in svn, and it will be part of upcoming 3.3.3-1.mga2

Comment 15 Herbert Poetzl 2012-05-03 01:02:31 CEST

just verified with the most recent dual boot CD image and the issue (Bug 4745) is gone.
will do some more testing with the DVD images, but I consider this one fixed.

Closing then
