After booting the computer with the kernel boot option
'acpi=off'
we succeed to start anaconda. However, the I/O with the hard drive
(for example formatting) was very slow.
I have set SATA emulation to IDE, and boot with
acpi=off hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe
then the IO speed is OK:
# hdparm -t -T /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 4460 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2230.11 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 208 MB in 3.02 seconds = 68.89 MB/sec
The "hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe" needs to be added manually to grub.conf
after installation.
