Hi all, I've got questions about two different failure modes I experienced while trying to kickstart SL6.1 on some hardware to play with.
First, when I kickstarted it on this hardware, it immediately hardlocked (display black, keyboard unresponsive with no lights on or blinking, no network activity), I believe while trying to bring up the network (I can't tell; it doesn't have network up prior to dying, so remote syslog isn't working, and then it's utterly responseless afterward). I booted it with noprobe, and it came up, but as soon as I tried to load the forcedeth module for its onboard NIC, /sbin/loader experienced SIGSEGV. This happens reproducibly. Second, when I tried installing 6.1 with the 6.0 vmlinuz/initrd.img (where the above problem didn't occur at all), if I try to install in text or graphical mode, it complains "Please add the following sections and try again" "Bootloader configuration", where I know I have bootloader specified correctly and not inside a pre/post/packages section (I use "bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda"; sans quotes, obviously) - this looked similar to RH bug #506428, so I figured I'd give cmdline mode a try. If I use "cmdline" install mode, I fail with "In interactive step timezone, can't continue" - which looks like RH bug 462595 or 672095. Thoughts, anyone? - Rich
