I am installing SME 5.6 (developer version) onto a new machine. It all seems to go fine until it reboots into Linux for the first time. During the services startup, it appears to hang at the 'creating file quotas' stage. It has been like this for almost 24 hours now, but I don't want to kill it in case it is just slow configuring the filesystem for the first time.
There is disk activity several times each minute, but the keyboard is locked out completely. SMART is disabled, so I'm fairly sure it's not that accessing the disks.
The setup consists of a P4 1.8GHz, 512M RAM, SiS651C chipset and two 120G hard disks configured as a software RAID. The same happens if I only use one disk. The latest BIOS is installed, and the disks are recognised and formatted successfuly.
The video blanking has kicked in now, and with the keyboard locked out I can't bring the screen back to see if it is actually doing anything. Any ideas?
