[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #3400] installer hangs

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3400 has been updated by mneumann.


Which version did you try to install? The daily snapshot? Which exactly? Or did you use the 6.4.2 installer? Please, try the 6.4.2 installer if you did not. It's always helpful to try different versions and see if they might fix the problem. Thanks

installer hangs on older macbook. ive tried a few different installer settings, including hammer and hammer2. the hang happens at about 90% complete when executing /sbin/newfs_hammer -f -L ROOT /dev/serno/...

sorry i dont have much more helpful information. the usb stick i install from has a light that continues to rapidly flash during the hang. also on one install attempt the installer dropped to debug mode and complained of a NULL pointer assert. sorry i didnt capture that information, and it hasnt happened again

if i dont hear back, i intend to wait another day on this install attempt, just incase it is verrrryyyy slow rather than hung, then try UFS, thanks
