It eventually completed without hanging. Post-install the box hung several times, generally with a kernel panic, sometimes with only the flashing keyboard lights as a "tell". In an attempt to diagnose a hardware issue I've run: - memtest86 6.5+ hours, 0 errors, 0 hangs. Both motherboard & cpu have ECC enabled. - bonnie++ 1+ hours, 0 errors, 0 hangs. - sys_basher is running now, it tests the floating point unit, the integer unit, RAM, and disk. I'd hate to let this server loose in production as-is. Does anyone have suggestions for other things I can test? -- Charles Polisher
