I tried it on a 350MHz G4 PowerMac (NewWorld) at the office. All went
well except for one strangeness. Since the same thing happened on my
beige G3 last night, I'm curious if anyone else has seen it?
Cool
Last night I thought it was just a glitch -- the beige G3 hardware is
sometimes a little flaky. But now I'm not so sure. The G4 machine
has
always been solid as a rock, hardware-wise.
The weirdness is this:
Installing with the 2.6.8 kernel (single processor version, if it
matters) The initial reboot goes just fine, and drops me into
tasksel,
where I select "print server", and "desktop environment". All the
installation and setup stuff goes as expected, but when everything is
over and I try to log out, I never get a "login:" prompt or a Gnome
login window. If I switch to another virtual console (alt-F2) and try
to login there it accepts my login and password, but I never get a
shell
prompt.
I had this also, but a reboot solved it.
I had to go to another machine and do "ssh root@box /sbin/reboot"
because using "slogin root@box" got me the point where I enter my root
password, then the same hang as I saw on the second virtual console.
Sound familiar? What am I doing wrong?
Don't know once is a coincidence, but 3 times is a problem, which i
believe is
RC. We should fill a bug, but i don't know what package to fill it at,
let's
say the installer for now.
