I spent a few hours trying different things on this but no luck. Hardware: Sun Ultra 5 - 333mhz / 512MB - Promise 100 PCI card as IDE interface..

Issue is after the partitioning is done and the installer runs mkfs.ext2 -F /dev/sda1 it hangs and the process goes Defunct. I’ve tried many different layouts with/without LVM, with/without /home always the same spot 33% ….
If it's the same issue as with my Ultra 10, you (1) either have to wait longer or (2) have to remove your floppy disk drive from the controller before doing an installation. #2 definitely saves some time. Cheers, Frank
