With the lang=ro parameter it reaches the point where it writes on the screen: ... running install... running /sbin/loader It remains here forever. I've tried with "lang=es", it works. I'm sure anyone can reproduce the bug by just booting the alpha with lang=ro, I've tried it on 3 different computers with more than 512MB ram and 2G+ processors. This must be a language problem, I just don't know how to debug anaconda, I've downloaded the sources from the repository, searched for Romanian, found that "lang-table" looks fine on the Romanian line, so I suspect some problems with the ro.po file. I ran msgfmt -cv on it and no errors, but maybe there's something else. There have been some changes lately for romanian, like a console font update and a keymap update. So what it could be is the missing of one of those in anaconda's filesystem, I can't check that. Anyway, after starting the installation without lang=ro, I CAN select Romanian in the graphical installer and I see the installer nicely in romanian. Also the installation produces a correct romanian keymap and console font. -- Alexandru Szasz _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
