Hello, I am trying to install F14 from DVD on an empty Laptop. After inserting the DVD, I get the menu: 1) Install a new system or upgrade an existing system 2) Install system with basic video driver 3) Rescue installed system 4) Boot from local drive 5) Memory test I select option 1, and after a bit of fast output of the type [ time ] Message ... the system stalls after the following message: [ 3.762682] Initalizing network drop monitor service The problem re-occurs after power cycling. Is this an issue of hardware incompatibility? I have an old Fedora6 DVD, which works fine, but I would rather run a more up-to-date system. Any help appreciated, Burkhard
