RE: INSTALLATION HANGING **SOLVED**

2005-11-28 Thread Silvio Bandeira 
  Ok, that's interesting.  What does it show at the end of /var/log/setup.log?
And what happens if you run a shell and execute bash -x
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh?

[  Note that in order for that test to work, you first need to edit
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh, and remove the redirections so instead of

done /dev/null 21

it just says done.  ]
cheers,

Can't think of a witty .sigline today

Executing the command it just hangs as well.

But I've solved the problem DISABLING the HIPERTHREAD FEATURE in the BIOS.

Intel says it's a program incompatibility... but interestingly
there's a patch
(http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/genbios.htm) for the BIOS
(and not the program :) to solve the problem... I'll do that later.

Thanks for the answers, and I hope it helps somebody else.

  No it doesn't.  It's still running.  It just takes some time.  Don't be so
 impatient!

Wrong. It was stalled for more than one hour. The task manager senses
no processing for that process (no activity in HD either).
Maybe some windows misconfiguration... but the problem is there.
