Please add comments to the BZ report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1879Can anyone reproduce that bug on a RHEL5 box? If it really is a kernel/init bug, it should be reported upstream. Ralph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centosHi, both FC6 and RHEL5 show exactly the same behaviour, that means the installer hangs during install on promise sata controller. I will file a bug to RedHat and Fedora. Regards Joachim BackesPlease point to the CentOS bug too in the upstream bug entry (if you need to add one) .. as I get tired of seeing posts describing how CentOS Developers / Users are parasites who take from Red Hat and give nothing back. If we discover and document a problem on CentOS, and it is later determined to be an upstream issue that they do not currently have in bugzilla then a link to the CentOS bugs site helps document that CentOS is a good Open Source player ... and not a bunch of leeches. We already know this, of course :D ... it seems some other people could stand to figure it out though.

Hi,I found out (in the Fedore archives ;-) that the boot option "nodmraid" (for the install kernel) would be helpful. I checked it, and this really helps: the installation is totally performed - no hangup, and afterwards the system runs with centOS 5.
