possibly similar to the various reports we've had (mostly from Dell users) at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241249 Try booting with one of.. nohz=off maxcpus=1 hpet=disable clocksource=acpi_pm none of them did the magic. It doesn't look to me like a clock related issue... the keyboard leds get blocked, look like the kernel is waiting for something with interrupts disabled. maybe a hardware probing problem? acpi=off ? nolapic ? (Getting desperate) didn't help either. same behaviour. Is there something else I can do? maybe unplugg some devices? Raul, Have you had any progress? You can try using manual option when you can control loading each component/driver interactively (it should be such option, most distros provide such install option). Then you can see which one freezes the system and try skipping it (if this is not your boot disk of course :) Then try switching to different VC screens, some of them output various traces and logs (ctrl-alt-f[1 to 12]). Thanks. (In reply to comment #5) > Raul, > Have you had any progress?

(In reply to comment #7) > anything interesting if you add earlyprintk=vga to the command line ? same bahaviour, no aditional info is printed on screen. do other distro installation CDs or live CDs (knoppix, grml) have this problem ? grml-small iso is only 60mb size |
