I am new to fedora and this list. I was running Suse on this system and sucessfully loaded the debian kernel, but wanted to try fedora. So I know the system can run Linux. It is an older gateway with a 350 Mhz Pentium II, one 10GB drive, one 80GB drive, 256MB of RAM. I am loading from CD and tested with md5sum and did a mediatest upon boot. I tried various boot options including: linux nofb noprobe mem=256MB I also tried the booth FC3 and FC2 versions. The last working command is: "running install... running /sbin/loader" (very long pause followed by) messages on cdrom_start_read ide timer expiring, etc. Then the following message: "<0> Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrrupt In interrupt handler -not syncing" Any assistance would be appreciated.
