Good Evening, I am trying to install F14 on my box... Without any success so far. The problem: when it comes to write the partitioning scheme to the disk, the system freezes. This occurs with the following CD images: - Fedora 14 LXDE live image. Installation using "Install to Disk" script. - Fedora 14, regular i386 image - Fedora 15 (beta) LXDE live image I used the F14 Live CD and performed additional tests. In particular, I tried to partition manually /dev/sdb (the disk where I want to install F14) using fdisk from the shell: - everything is OK until I execute the fdisk's 'w' command. - fdisk then hangs for about 10-15 seconds. The system is still working (I can change to another tty, have a shell etc.). - after those 15s have elapsed, the system freezes (CapsLock doesn't react anymore). At this point, I have no other option but power off the machine. strace reveals that the last syscall before the freeze is: ioctl(3,BLKRRPART,0x5...). That is during the re-read of the partition. A similar freeze could be also produced by dd'ing the /dev/sdb disk. There is no hardware problem with the disk itself. I can read/write partition on that disk without problem using another distro. You'll find the relevant system info gathered during a LiveCD session on pastebin.com (dmesg, lsmod, lspci and smolt profile respectively): http://pastebin.com/MW6UPck5 http://pastebin.com/mvPAGMMb http://pastebin.com/AnNBTSRS http://pastebin.com/F3FcveR7 Do you have any idea where to look at or what I can do? I am not a Linux/Fedora expert, but I'm not afraid to debug over serial or that kind of things if needed... I just need proper guidance.
