Hello,<br><br>I'm trying to complete a minimal install of Centos 5.1 x86_64 on a Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz<br>running on an Asus P5K-VM motherboard - yes, this means it's the G33 chipset.<br>(you can stop laughing now)<br>
I'm installing to two SATA-disks setup with Software Raid-1.<br><br>I've installed an Intel NIC that is detected during install and I'm able to complete the<br>install itself - mind you I have to add acpi=off and/or pci=nommconf or else the installer
<br>freezes (keyboard dies, even for numlock on/off) right before installing packages.<br>I've also changed from IDE to AHCI in BIOS as suggested in this mailing-list - it doesn't<br>seem to make a difference. So far the installer completes and I can log in after a reboot:
<br>I perform a yum update and at a random package it will freeze - The cursor is still blinking<br>but I'm unable to exit yum with CTRL+C or change to another tty.<br><br>As far as I know I should uprade to a newer kernel (currently using
2.6.18), but since I'm<br>unable to install the packages needed to roll my own that's a bit difficult. Any and all<br>help is greatly appreciated.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Vidar Normann<br>
