Public bug reported:
My eMachines w3080
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
512MB RAM, K400 chipset shared memory S3 chrome video chipset
2 80gb HD, trying to install on Master (iirc the Maxtor). I have Win XP
on the Slave drive (have been reinstalling successive versions of 7.04)
I'd just installed FreeBSD 6.2 on the primary drive in a 20gb partition
and had hoped to add the latest herd of Ubuntu and see if Ubuntu spotted
it and would boot that from GRUB as easily as it does Win XP.
The installer gets as far as step 6 of 8 (Migrate Documents and
Settings) but even after leaving it there overnight it's still stuck at
the progress cursor and the only active button is cancel. Cancel does
work so technically the application isn't "hung".
I tried selected both options for the primary drive (both use free
space, then erase entire drive)...both "guided" setups. As I type this I
realize that I didn't try manual configuration to see if that made any
difference (and I suppose I could try without the Win XP drive
physically connected). As I'm retrying this again I'm reminded that the
steps seem sluggish when I click on the forward button (such as for Time
Zone or Keyboard selection steps) it sometimes ignores the click and I
have to click again. This is very repeatable on my machine.
Ok so, this bug is repeating, whether I use guided use only free space,
guided reformat drive, or manual partitioning. The forward button never
becomes active (and the text in that step refers to it as the "next"
button).
Regards,
Jay
