I am having problems with this also. I have an AMD64(754pin) and an MSI mobo. the iso checks out with the md5sum. it boots the dvd no problem, to the screen asking what type of install. just hitting enter key, for graphical install, and it starts to boot, mounts the different directories it needs, and trys to run something in /sbin (sorry, forget the name at this point). so, it gets to this point, and the cursor blinks at the bottom of the screen. after a few seconds, it moves to the right, but no * or anything is on screen. does this a few more times, then stops moving. no hard drive activity, no cpu activity, and my num-lock key doesnt toggle. anyway, thats my problem, if anyone knows anything about this situation, i could use the help. thanks. -Scott

hmm, tried 'linux acpi=off' instead of default enter and that didnt work, i did write down how far it got though, it gets to the line: running /sbin/loader which is the first line after it says: running install any other suggestions? any chance the multiple cd version or the non-64 DVD version would work better/differently? -Scott Peter Arremann wrote: > On Friday 25 February 2005 19:36, Scott Elliott wrote: > >>I am having problems with this also. >>I have an AMD64(754pin) and an MSI mobo. >>the iso checks out with the md5sum. >>it boots the dvd no problem, to the screen asking what type of install. >>just hitting enter key, for graphical install, and it starts to boot, >>mounts the different directories it needs, and trys to run something in >>/sbin (sorry, forget the name at this point). so, it gets to this point, >>and the cursor blinks at the bottom of the screen. after a few seconds, >>it moves to the right, but no * or anything is on screen. does this a >>few more times, then stops moving. no hard drive activity, no cpu >>activity, and my num-lock key doesnt toggle. >>anyway, thats my problem, if anyone knows anything about this situation, >>i could use the help. thanks. >> >>-Scott > > > I had the same issue (same config as you) - adding a acpi=off fixed it > for me... > > Peter. > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Also - I know it sounds weird - but what kind of DvD drive do you have and is its firmware up to date? Peter.

I have a Radeon 7500 (I do 2D only anyway) so that shouldn't matter either... That leaves the sata drive (although many people have success with it) and the dlink card... Honestly - I've no clue :-) But I would try without the dlink card... Just a guess but you never know unless you try... Peter.
