Greetings,
We have a couple of dual PIII Boxx Technologies boxes here that anaconda
consistently hangs on shortly after the check media md5sum menu. We've
tried both FC2 or FC3Beta boot media, and using the boot options such as
"linux text noprobe" all to no avail.
Right before the box locks up (hard, no capslock, ctrl-alt-del, no
nothing), anaconda shows:
on vt3: *inserted /tmp/parport.ko
on vt4: <6>device-mapper: 4.1.0-ioctl (2003-12-10) init ...
We've tried assorted SCSI controllers, VGA cards, etc, and every
anaconda option we can find but nothing seems to work.

Perhaps there is a way to cause anaconda to show more debugging output?
Or to have it step through its install instructions one at a time?
Any hints or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Abe
