I created a FC2 rescue disk and tried to boot from it. It shows the splash screen (badly, some text missing, but I have the same issue with FC1 install disks). I hit return (out of hope!) and it seemed to load the kernel only to reboot immediately.

I had earlier installed the 2.6 Kernel in the test area FC1 and had the same issue (immediate reboot).

Any ideas on things to try ? I'm thinking to try creating a custom 2.6 kernel to see if I can figure out the issue...

I've seen this sort of thing in the past and it usually relates to booting a kernel built for a different processor. I had tried using an Epia board with an Eden 633 Mhz processor with an i686 kernel and that rebooted like this but switching to an i586 solved this problem (although I then had a hang later on after freeing Kernel memory which I never resolved).

For now no upgrade to FC2 :(

regards
David
