There are no errors indicated in console 4 (or 3).
Console 2 shows (with ps) that the install2 process is still
running. But it never gets to the point of "scanning serial
ports", tho'. I looked at the install2 perl script, but I'm
not a perl programmer & couldn't make much of it. I thought
of adding echo lines to try to determine where it was, but
realized I'd have to a) change the perl, b) make a new .rdz,
c) burn another cdr of the result. Seemed a long way around.
Is there a shorter way?
More info. I only hangs in 'expert', I did a full
install with the default (not hitting F1 & typing expert).
I see rc1 is here. I shall be burning a set of cdr's
shortly and check it.

attempting an install, with the 9.0 DVD or the CD's from 9.1b3 (which
I have used to install on another box, so they are OK), everything
seems to go alright untill the loading of second stage, and after
clearing the screen and issuing the message "loading second stage"
it just hangs. Nothing happens at all. Any ideas what I should
change?
Some people seem to experience this problem. They can see I/O
errors in console #4 (Ctrl Alt F4), is it your case as well? If
so, I still don't know what kernel parameter you should try to
workaround this problem (if any). Maybe there are trouble with
your bios or with acpi/apic in our kernel :/. You may also want
to try to boot off the 2.2 kernel (F1 then alt1) and tell us if
that makes any difference.
