The strange thing is that I was unable to use the mouse/keyboard from fedora, ubuntu AND windows server.... So in my opinion it's more likely to be a problem with the idrac app (it happens in linux and windows as well...). And it seems a different problem than the vertical stripes freeze in the machine, that one happens through idrac and through a monitor plugged in to the machine... as a remainder, what happened is that after selecting any menu options except safe graphics mode (or entering it from the boot: prompt) the installation started (started showing some of the logs when starting) and then if froze showing only vertical stripes Yes, I agree on opening a bug, but rackspace guys might get pissed if they have to reinstall the machine again :S ----- Original Message -----

Hurray!!
Finally the rackspace hosts are being installed, we have already fedora18 on one of them. Finally they had to install it using a kvm, and using the safe graphics mode (all the other installation modes, just froze before starting to install, no text mode, console, normal, kickstart, vnc....), it seems that there's some problem with the hardware and fedora 18 :S.
Ah-ha ... I'd love to file a bug report if we can. So wow, you had to have RackSpace folks put a keyboard/video/mouse on the actual host and do a manual install?
FWIW, I had the same problem with F17, but not CentOS 6.3 (or 6.4, I forget.) If it's a bug, it's been in Fedora for a little while, and we'll see probably therefore see it in RHEL 7 if it doesn't get fixed now.
Fabian suggested it could be 850785[1], but on IRC David said he tried the workarounds.
Wow, I didn't think to check for a bug report. I do recall possibly trying the 'usbcore' workaround because of a forum post somewhere. As it happens, these machines are in fact DELL PowerEdge R720s. I would reckon we are experiencing that bug in some fashion, it would be too much of a coincidence otherwise, right?
