Hello,
I'm trying to install Fedora 8 x86_64 on my HP Compaq 8710p laptop. The DVD boots fine, I tell the install to do a new install, come to the blue screen that loads some drivers and end up at the disk check requester. After the check is done (or skipped), /sbin/loader blows me away with a SIGSEGV error and shuts down the system.
I have also tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and OpenSUSE 10.3. They install and works flawlessly. However, I'm a Fedora guy ;-)
Any suggestions?
Some system facts:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz 4 GB RAM ST9120823AS hard disc NVIDIA Quadro NVS 320M graphics card TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632M Intel 82566MM Gigabit LAN Intel WiFi Link 4965AG
Additional info
The Fedora 8 KDE LIVE CD/DVD seems to boot up just fine. Can't make a clean (swedish) install with this though.

The solution to this problem was to add kernel option 'nopcmcia' when booting up. Now I have a working FC8 system with a defunct PCMCIA subsystem. Moving on to find out what FC8 has against my PCMCIA hardware.
