The installer using the default kernel always hangs at "System Probing" when it tries to "Search for Linux partitions". The only way around this was to add acpi=off to Boot Options or select "NO ACPI" or "Safe Setting". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select default kernel 2. Installer gets to System Probing --> Search for Linux partitions 3. Installer hangs 4. Press reset button to restart installation and select "NO ACPI". Actual Results: The installer using the default kernel always hangs at "System Probing" and "Search for Linux partitions". I have 12.1 installed on the first 4 partitions. Expected Results: The installer should not hang when System Probing --> Search for Linux partitions. When I tested 11.3 - 12.1 Milestones with default kernel. They never hang when the "Search for Linux partitions" was performed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
