------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-26-09 18:21 ------- I tried with the "noapic" option and still have the same behaviour. I even burned another copy of the CD and still the same. I have no clue of what is happening. Maybe it is unrelated, but I formated the hd partitions with ext3, and today I've read in a x86_64.org mailing list that ext3 is not working right on kernels 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 for AMD64?? After formating is done, the partions get mounted and it says something like "mounting an ext3 partition as ext2" (sorry I don't have the computer here). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I just downloaded and burnded the mandrake 9.2 beta2 amd64 isos, and right after the disk formating the message about getting the available packages the installations hangs with a black screen with the upper and lower blue stripes saying "Choose the packages to install" I've tried installing in spanish and english, selecting default mouse or with wheel, using existing partitions (made previously with knoppix) or manually making partitions. I've tried change the DVD from primary master to slave to secondary master,.. I'm using the text install, as as soon as I use a graphical install, be it vgalo, vga16, vgahigh or whatever my monitor (CTX PV700B 17'' TFT) gets out of sync (It also happened with MDK 9.1 i386) It's too fast for me to see anything clear and remember it, but looking at one of the other virtual consoles, i managed to see something like "getting hdlist" three times and then a series or package names followed by serveral lines saying: Unknown package ... and, if I saw it right, many of them where XFree.... then another set of package names appeared, followed by some more lines saying Keeping some_package_names After that another list of packages wich fills the screen and doesn't allow to view any of the preceedign I'm using a new dual opteron Tyan Transport GX28. (Based on Tyan S2880 Thunder K8S board) It has no floppy, a SCSI HD and a provisionally installed IDE Sony DVD.
