Hi,
I tried a network installation of current openSUSE build (hosted on oss.sgi.com) on my hp workstation zx6000 but the installation process crashes just after downloading the root image. Here are the logs that I captured with a camera since this display is quickly replaced by a big red square telling me that the installation process failed:
hal.1: read hal data/usr/lib/YaST2/startup/First-Stage/F02-hwinfo:
starting hald... ok starting syslogd (logging to /dev/tty4)... ok Starting ia32el starting yast... line 10: 2388 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/sbin/hwinfo --special=x11 Probing connected terminal...
Initializing virtual console...
Unfortunately, once the red square replaces this screen, the keyboard is disabled, so I'm not able to swith to console tty4 to see the logs. I've performed several attempts. No luck. Using the safe settings or a textmode install didn't help. IIRC, the last working root image was dated around Aug. 15th.
Is this problem also noticed on other architectures? If not, what can I try to help debug the installation process on Itanium?
Yes, seen on other archs as well - hope to be fixed with installation images from 2006-08-23 or newer, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
