Description Jiri Srain 2008-04-07 08:06:40 UTC
During live instalaltion from Factory (after putting in correct control file), the installation freezes on "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys -u" call. The hwclock process cannot be killed even via KILL signal.

Kernel reports segmentation fault on 10th console, the system is in state that one cannot even log in.

I got KDE4.0 beta1 Live-cd from a friendly/broken mirror. And seem to get this same issue. 

Live installer (and desktop) freezes after accepting the license in the installer, as it tries to load the next step which is clock + timezone.

Attached photo of console 10 output above. Not sure it's of any relevance. 
Comment 5 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2008-04-18 16:01:54 UTC
This looks like an aufs bug/issue, reassigning...
Comment 6 Jeff Mahoney 2008-04-18 18:06:11 UTC
Jiri, your trace is tainted "D," which means that it's a secondary oops. Can you capture a primary oops?
Comment 7 Maksym Grytsenko 2008-04-19 00:01:36 UTC
I have the same problem with kernel freezing.

KDE4 i386 Live CD. Installation is freezeng after accepting licence and defining language and keyboard layout. Just before the timezones.

All desktop doesn't answer, just mouse moves.

ok, this is caused by an aufs oops earlier

cool, Torsten fixed it - even if he put all his comments into #381259
