I have an FC3 installation DVD I tryed to install from the DVD on a 2,53 MHz P4 computer and i get after the return loading vmlinuz ......................................... loading initrd.img ................................................................. . . . running install ... running /sbin/loader after this it stays quiet.... nothing happens anymore.
I tryed to boot from a CD-rom with the boot.iso image ---> just the same an other CD burned on an different burning speed --> just the same
I did the CD in an old P3 500MHz PC and it booted checked the DVD ---> pass installed and updated FC2 to FC3
For my this is the question: why can i not install on the P4 2,53MHz Computer. FC2 just went fine.
Does anyone have an idea what i could try.
Thanks
Erik

Perhaps "linux text" for starters. Could also provide some detail on the hardware like motherboard version, chipset, video card.

How is the boot order set in the bios? Maybe you need to change to make the box see the atapi drive as the first device. Also if this is on a network make sure it isn't trying something like 'network boot' and getting hung up there, turn the nic off if you have one of those newfangled ones with the PxE chip. I would recommend sniffing around in the bios to see whatever else might need to be enabled or disabled.
