Topic: sme hang during install on dell optiplex 960

[davibou]

I all, i have a verry strange problem during fresh install of sme 9

on a dell optiplex 960 the install hang at mounting  /tmp as tempfs and stop here !!!

With the same média (cdrom) i can install it on dell r200 without problem

What i do:

1) Check the 4 2G memory modules with memtest  (all ok 2pass)

2) test to boot with each module (same problem)

3) unplug all disks (just in case but i think this is not the problem)

4) check intégrity of cdrom ( it is ok )

5) redownload iso burn it on another disk check it (same problem)

5) install with another média type ( usb stick ) (same problem)

Notice that sme 8.1 was installed on this dell tower and it work verry well

Is there someone here that can help me please ?

Try installing CentOS 6.5, if you get the same problem then there is an issue with OS compatibility.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632811

Did you consider trying SME Server 9.1Beta? It's CentOS 6.6 based.
