Tried with the TUI installer ...
Same behaviour: system locked in "Configuring kernel-core.x86_64" .

Noticed that In all tries the CPU FAN is at also locked at Full speed meaning that the processor could be at 100% ....

Hello,

The AlmaLinux OS 9 needs x86-64-v2. Can you install AlmaLinux OS 8 on the same system? If true, you can check your system's supported x86_64 architecture levels with this command below.:

/usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help

Check for "x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)" in the output.

Answering the previous detailed note:
Yes I did have installed sucefully both Alma 8.3 and Alma 8.6 versions ...

Calling :

 /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help
gives the expected answer :
---
Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order:
  x86-64-v4
  x86-64-v3
  x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)

Legacy HWCAP subdirectories under library search path directories:
  x86_64 (AT_PLATFORM; supported, searched)
  tls (supported, searched)
  avx512_1
  x86_64 (supported, searched)
---

The system is an P8P67 Asus Board with 32G RAM and SandyBridge I7-3770 CPU ...

Hi markmarques,

Can you reproduce it with CentOS 9 Stream too?

I wonder if it fixed already on upstream or not.

As previously commented this happened both in Alma , Rocky and now on CentOS 9.

Tested the full CentOS 9 install DVD ( both GUI and text mode) and the result is the same:
system locked in the : Configuring Kernel x86_64 label ...

The system is locked in such way that I need a hardware "button" Press to reboot / restart ...
As soon as I have the time again I will try to install with the log TTY visually active ...

As stated before I tried to install ( CentOS 9 ) with the logging console visible and the attached image is the result ...

System hardlocked with no solution besides hardware reset.

The last lines do give some more info as the "ld-linux-86-64.so.2" is being refered ...

Or is it the :
INFO dbus-broker-launch:avc op=load_policy lsm=selinux seqno=6 res=1

I suspect the same line would be present in both Alma9 and Rocky 9 logger.

any further details ?

Hi markmarques,

Since it's an upstream issue related to your HW, I can recommend to file a bug report[^1] to the upstream, against to CentOS Stream 9. Once it's fixed on the upstream, the AlmaLinux OS 9 will get this fix eventually.
