Before installation attempt I did run the "media check" and the DVD passed with no issues. Probably not related, but I did install from DVD in an external USB DVD drive even though the computer has an internal DVD drive (that's sometimes not reliable). Here's output from the "lspci" command: [_MASTER_ root@porta01 ~]# [_MASTER_ root@porta01 ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev b1) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x8 Port 2-3 (rev b1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x8 Port 4-5 (rev b1) 00:06.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x8 Port 6-7 (rev b1) 00:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset DMA Engine (rev b1) 00:10.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset FSB Registers (rev b1) 00:10.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset FSB Registers (rev b1) 00:10.2 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset FSB Registers (rev b1) 00:11.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset Reserved Registers (rev b1) 00:13.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset Reserved Registers (rev b1) 00:15.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset FBD Registers (rev b1) 00:16.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 5000 Series Chipset FBD Registers (rev b1) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset UHCI USB Controller #1 (rev 09) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset UHCI USB Controller #2 (rev 09) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset UHCI USB Controller #3 (rev 09) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset EHCI USB2 Controller (rev 09) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev d9) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 09) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB IDE Controller (rev 09) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller (rev 09) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express Upstream Port (rev 01) 01:00.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express to PCI-X Bridge (rev 01) 02:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express Downstream Port E1 (rev 01) 02:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6311ESB/6321ESB PCI Express Downstream Port E3 (rev 01) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 08:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02) [_MASTER_ root@porta01 ~]# [_MASTER_ root@porta01 ~]# On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 9:56 AM, Troy Dawson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > On 02/22/2011 11:32 AM, Nathan Watson wrote: > >> I tried to install SL6 x86_64 on a system already successfully running 64 >> -bit Fedora 13, >> error happens soon after bootup, before reaching any user interaction rel >> ated to the >> installer. >> >> Computer is Intel Xeon dual quad-core SuperMicro. >> >> No (easy) way to get screenshot, photograph available temporarily at: >> >> http://www.gg411.com/IMG_20110220_224246.jpg.
