Hi,
I wanted to install F10 on an external FireWire drive (Western Digital
MyPasseport III). But unfortunaly, F10 is unable to format it (it hangs
after 90%) ou write packages on it (hangs after 450 packages on 1300).
There was any problem on the same hardware with F9.
ANyone has an idea ?
Do you have any messages on the text consoles when it hangs? (ctrl-alt
and F1-F4 to switch between installer startup messages, interactive
shell, anaconda log and syslog VTs during a graphical install).
If there's something there it would be good to capture it & post it to
the list.
If the whole system hangs and doesn't respond to the keyboard then you
may need to set up a serial console to be able to capture this stuff.
If you don't get anything logged and the system is still responsive, it
would be worth getting some sysrq-t data - run:
echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
In the shell on VT2 and then copy the resulting logs to another machine.
This should show where things are getting stuck.
It might also be worth trying a LiveCD and then trying to do stuff to
the firewire drive to try to reproduce the problem in a simpler
environment (e.g. just try to format or copy lots of data to it).
Regards,
Bryn.
