are you saying that the boot process detects the lan chip, but doesn't have a driver for it, or that it simply stops at a certain point in time without telling you why? if the boot/install process is trying to determine what drivers it needs for the chip, it might be possible to check google/manufacturer's site to see what drivers are required.. i might be in the wrong area, but i had a similar issue with a box, where it wouldn't get to the network, because it didn't know which driver to use... give us more information, and there might be other solutions... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Oliver Leitner Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 11:40 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Problems installing Fedora Core 3 Jan Mussche wrote: > I have downloaded the DVD ISO file from the 64bits version of Fedora > Core 3 and I have some problems. > > My computer has an Asrock K8-Upgrade-1689 motherboard with an on-board > LAN chip RTL8201. > > During install this chip is not recognized and therefore I can not > install a network connection. > > After installation, when the pc boots, the software hangs most of the > times searching for new hardware.

I hope that helped you some further...
