After successfully running through the install, it asks to boot into the new system. Upon attempting to boot into the system from the hard disk, it gets as far as printing, "[Linux-initrd @ 0x1fdc1000, 0x1fecbc bytes]" to the screen and it just hangs there with no useful feedback. It's like the kernel image isn't even attempting to load. I waited for 15 minutes just to make sure it wasn't just being slow. When I power on the box, it posts just fine, the grub bootloader comes up just fine and the default entry attempts to load. Here's my platform:
CPU: VIA C3 Nehemiah 1.3GHz (supported by Astaro according to HW list)
Mem: 1GB (tested with 512MB with same result)
Hard disk: 40GB Seagate Barracuda 7200
NICs: 5 10/100/1000 Intel Pro 1000 (all recognized by the installer just fine)
Would be nice to know what is causing it to hang. Anyone else have this issue and able to get around it? I've already attempted to mod the kernel options by passing things like noapic, nolapic, etc. from within grub to no avail. Enabling grub's debug option provides nothing useful before it hangs. Other Linux distros run just fine on this hardware. FreeBSD does as well. Seems that Astaro and Untangle both have the same issue on this platform, for whatever reason. Anyway, thanks in advance for any assistance.
