Hi
I am running an F7 install on a Dell PowerEdge 2300 (another one -
previous one that caused me problems is running fine).
Machine boots up fine, but when the F7 Rescue CD boots up everything
goes into slow motion. This happens right from the word go. For
instance the initial graphical screen to select the type of install
takes about 20 seconds to paint, keyboard response is slow as well.
This is the same throughout the install, both graphical and
non-graphical. I expect that the installer would complete in due
course, but haven't had the patience to see it any further through than
selecting hard drives.
I have had a look at "top" through a console during the install and it
reports that there is plenty of RAM available, and no processes hogging
the dual CPUs.
I can't see any bios settings that might effect the installer.
I have removed all of the RAM and tried RAM from an identical machine
that doesn't have this problem, but no luck. It still does the same
I have removed all of the PCI devices (save for the SCSI controller) and
no improvement.
Is this symptom familiar to anyone? Can anyone suggest how I might work
out what is going on?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Langdon
