The strange thing is that I was unable to use the mouse/keyboard from fedora, ubuntu AND windows server....
So in my opinion it's more likely to be a problem with the idrac app (it happens in linux and windows as well...). And it seems a different problem than the vertical stripes freeze in the machine, that one happens through idrac and through a monitor plugged in to the machine... as a remainder, what happened is that after selecting any menu options except safe graphics mode (or entering it from the boot: prompt) the installation started (started showing some of the logs when starting) and then if froze showing only vertical stripes Yes, I agree on opening a bug, but rackspace guys might get pissed if they have to reinstall the machine again :S ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Karsten 'quaid' Wade" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 10:09:38 PM > Subject: Re: Rackspace machines being installed > > On 05/29/2013 12:49 PM, Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden wrote: > > On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 10:28:49AM -0700, Karsten 'quaid' Wade wrote: > >> On 05/29/2013 02:45 AM, David Caro Estevez wrote: > >>> Hurray!! > >>> > >>> Finally the rackspace hosts are being installed, we have already > >>> fedora18 on one of them.
