Description Martin Mrazik 2007-01-31 10:14:20 UTC
After the registration phase in second stage I tried to register, there were some problems with installation sources, so I switched to console to look at y2logs. 

Suddenly the X segfaulted and thus my second stage installation was not finished. As a result my keybord doesn't work very well (it just prints some weird characters, I'm unable to switch console anymore). I'm able to ssh, though.

X and y2logs will follow.

If you need any other logs please let me know.
Comment 4 Martin Mrazik 2007-01-31 10:26:31 UTC
btw. the X segfaulted while I was 'less'-ing the y2logs
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2007-01-31 10:34:32 UTC
Can you start X with the xf86debug wrapper? Do this via a remote (ssh) login. Something like this.

xf86debug &
DISPLAY=:1 twm &
[start xterm and try to reproduce the problem]

Attach /tmp/xf86debug.XXXXXXXXXX and /tmp/core.Xorg.XXXXXXXXXX

Andreas, same problem?
Comment 7 Andreas Jaeger 2007-01-31 10:42:11 UTC
Might be - see bug #240600.  I'm not sure.  If you like to log into my VMware session, tell me.

This might be related to the new ACPI patch (see Bug #197858).
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2007-01-31 19:59:29 UTC
Unfortunately I forgot to mention to install the xorg-x11-server-debuginfo package before generating the debug output/corefile.
Comment 13 Stefan Dirsch 2007-02-01 00:12:31 UTC
Fixed by disabling the ACPI patch for now. Fixing the ACPI patch will be handled in Bug #197858.
