Tried twice and it hangs on LVM2 at 17%
I wonder if it’s a setting or a compatibility issue, or i just need to be more patient and let it sit more than an hour?
Well I tried a few more times. Letting it sit did not help. It seems that if it got stuck there for one second, it would be stuck there for one day. When it finally worked, it blew right past that portion of the install – near to the very end!
One thing that helped was choosing to format the disk with VMWare (the first option) rather than LVM2 (the second option). Doing it that way, it only got stuck one other time and I was able to successfully install dapper (6.06) with HDs of varying capacity from 10GB up to over 300GB.
Now the next problem is that the dapper update repos seem to be totally gone, nowhere to be found. Time to move on I guess…
