Hi,

I'm trying to install RHEL WS 4 as HVM-guest on a VT-enabled system (Pentium D 930) but the installation hangs in the install-program before I can start with the installation.

The last I see is the blue screen with a black line under it that says:
"Running anaconda, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system installer - please wait..."

Then the system hangs for the whole night until I kill it :-(

I also tried to start the installation with the text-mode-installer, and even with "noprobe", "resolution=..." and "nofb" to avoid automatic hardware probing, but I get the same result.

Normaly there should appear as next lines the following:

Probing for video card ...
Probing for monitor type ...
Probing for mouse type ...
...

And after some more lines the text-mode or graphical installer starts!

The qemu-dm.00000.log doesn't tell me anything usefull, the last line in the log appears before I press <enter> at the RHEL-preboot-menu to start the installation in graphical mode:
