Description Zach Welch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-25 15:41:40 UTC
I just brought up a new system with the very latest (12/23/2002) livecd iso
image, but I only used the stage1 image to install into a chrooted partition 
from a RedHat 7.2 system (which will soon be wiped).

I started bootstrap script early and wanted to cancel.  Hitting Ctrl-Z 
stopped the underlying processes, but the main bootstrap script was still R in 
the process list.  The other tasks all showed T, and kill -STOP of the 
bootstrap script (from another console) finally gave me the bash prompt back.  

Continuing is just a simply fg, but this took several tries to get the scripts 
stopped in the first place.  In the meantime, the outward appearance is that 
the script has hung; you can't get a prompt.  This behavior was trivially
reproducible for me.

This is now fixed on cvs and will show up on rsync within the hour. we were
trapping the TSTP signal which was what was causing the problem. ^Z et all work
with the new script now. This bit me too! :)
