[Bug 217815] Re: Installation stalls randomly until a key is pressed

[Matt Zimmerman]

Jamie, where does it stall for you, if not during the erase stage?

My tests have all been on a Core 2 Duo T7500 and I haven't been able to
reproduce the problem at all despite several test installations using
alternate install CDs.

Is this specific to the server kernel?

** Summary changed:

- When selecting LVM Crypt, erase never ends
+ Installation stalls randomly until a key is pressed

** Description changed:

- LATEST BUILD TESTED:
- 20080416
- 
- Using Hardy Server 64bit
- - Select Guided partioning LVM Crypt
- - Erasing the partition never ends (stuck at 27%) and there no more disk activity (waited 10 minutes)
- - One can press cancel and the installation continues...
- 
- Test done under KVM (if it has an impact)
+ There are several reports, both in KVM and on real hardware, of a
+ problem where the installation process will stall, and no further
+ progress is made until a key is pressed.  This is believed to be a
+ kernel issue, which is resolved by initiating some interrupt processing
+ activity.
