Description
LinHES install hangs at 98% with rsync, as per this forum thread:
http://forum.linhes.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=24162&hilit=rsync&start=0
(in my case, in an Asus M3N78-VM, which used to be fully recommended on KnoppMyth :-)
This thread helpfully describes all the necessary workarounds:
http://forums.linhes.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=24164&start=15#p139796
Basically, VESA mode before installer gets me 100% thru install,
and now I need to do all the extra steps to enable inbuilt graphics.
I figure this should be an easy thing to detect in the installer?

It seems from the reports that MSI only needs to be disabled for some older cards, specifically the 8200 and 8300. If there are more that are identified we can add them.
If you can test, install:sudo pacman -U http://linhes.org/repo/x86_64/core-testing/LinHES-config-8.4.2-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U http://linhes.org/repo/x86_64/core-testing/system-templates-8.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Then run:sudo xconfig.sh
If your video device was identified as needing MSI disabled it should have created /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia_msi.conf.

Seems to have installed OK. Will check XV acceleration later on, but for possible future debugging, dmesg before and after upgrade:
