------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-10 19:25 ------- Same problem here with two systems, DFI AD77 based. We managed to boot the MDK 9.1 install CD with APIC=disabled in the BIOS and noapic at LILO prompt. But both machines weren't stable after install completion : most of the time, they ended booting prematurely with "ESR value before enabling vector: 00000002". No matter if we added mem=nopentium, acpi=off or anything else mentionned here. The more confusing was that if we kept the system shut off for enough time, we could be able to boot nicely. Which allowed us to process to update the kernel, with the lastest RPM (not cooker's one, though). Which gained us nothing more, though. Fortunately, we managed to find a solution that suited us: replacing both revision AE0 AD77 motherboards by revision AF0 ones instantly made both machines boot without any difficulty nor extra LILO option. Both revision AE0 AD77 boards proved to be functional and stable with another commercial OS installed. By the way, we never experienced such problems here with older AD75 motherboards nor with the multimedia full featured AD77 Infinity ones. My two cents. -- 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: NEW creation_date: description: After pressing Enter to install, the installer hangs.

All other peripherals (video, network, audio, etc.) all are onboard. I can install Mandrake 8.2 fine. The 9.0 release has this problem. The 9.1 RC1 has this problem.
