| Post subject: | R5E50 boot hangs after CD test... |
I've got a system that hangs just after the CD test passes. The CPU is identified and then it just sits there... I recently added a SBE and that install (R5C7) went without a hitch. For many months I've been having intermittent issues with MythWeb displaying white (blank) pages. I haven't been able to get to the root of the issue and it always seems to "automagically" fix itself after a few days. In the last week or so, the blank page issue has been persistent, so I thought I do an upgrade to see if that changes things. The backup went well and I verified it using the "check_backup.sh" script. On the first boot of the CD, I used the "tv testcd" parameters and the system locked up just after the CD passes and the CPU is identified. I then tried: tv <just enter - this is what I normally use> tv noscsi testcd tv noscsi expert tv testcd All with the same results. I also tried hooking up a VGA monitor (I was using it through the S-Video output) and had the same issue. MBE: R5B7 AMD XP2400+ ECS K7VTA3 MB 512 MB DDR ~800 GB in LVM Running for ~18 months, been quite sometime since the last upgrade. I've never had an issue booting any OS on this machine - so I'm a little lost. Any ideas? Thanks. |

I just booted the R5C7 CD on this machine and it worked fine. I also booted the R5E50 CD on a Gateway P4 - it was fine also. Maybe I'll download a CD or two from between these releases and see what happens... |

have you check the md5sum of the ISO File ? md5sum KnoppMythR5E50.iso you can see the correct md5sum in the file (for example) ftp://ftp.knoppmyth.net/R5/R5E50/KnoppM ... iso.md5sum |

Also don't forget that compatability of burnt CDs is an inexact science. It's possible to have a CD that tested fine in one machine fail in another. Even when using the same burner, reader and brand of media which have worked before... |

I wish that was the case - but I've never had any issues with the setup that I'm using. I could burn the CD again, but I think I'd just be wasting a blank... When I get a maintenance window on the system - I'll have to play with it some more. Very strange... Thanks. |

I disabled ACPI in the BIOS and was able to finish the boot/install. |
