hey,
1) The installation hangs after installing the
bootloader during regular installation, i think this is because the next step is
X configuration. I have a Diamond stealth 2000 s3 virge 4mb chipset. Beta 1
installed fine, however, beta 2 and 3 hang right after installing the bootloader
which basically means that it gets stuck at X configuration. I have attached the
/var/log/messages and install.log. NOTE: by default the installer choses
vgalo mode because of my old 2d card.
2)Next i tried text installation. All went fine
till the thing asked me to test X. It tested fine and then the installer asked
me if i wanted X to startup at boot time. I said ok and then the right hand
cornor of the screen upadated its status to exiting isntallation, however it
just hanged. I had to do manual reboot. After booting into linux i had to do
Fsck. Tried to configure X using drakex but it just game me errors.
NOTE: I selected Xfree86 4.1. As i stated earlier, beta 1 installed fine with
xfree86 4.1 even in graphical installation. Looked pretty cool!!
3)During package selection (the 2nd package
selection screen in which u select individual package) in text mode if u
press cancel to got back to the first screen of package selection, the installer
just starts installing instead of going back. Btw can we get install all
packages like redhat has.
u guys need anything else just email
me. I would be glad to give more info. Again beta 1 installed fine with X
but beta 2 and 3 just hang.
