Bugzilla – Bug 206768
installation hangup at "NET: Registered protocol family 2"
Last modified: 2006-10-03 07:09:14 UTC
While booting from CD the system hangs up at: NET: Registered protocol family 2 It is not possible to get the system running with any bootparameter. The next thing is that there is no visible output before you change resolution with vga=771 It is possible to boot with Alpha 3 CD, than abord installation. Within in the text mode you will change the CD from Alpha 3 to Alpha 4 and than tell the system to start installation. It is possible to install the system but there are still some more errors.
