I am running Fedora Core 1 in a dual boot system with Win XP. I have a Compaq Presario 2580US Laptop, 40GB Hd, 512 MB Ram, 802.11g wireless card, 10/100NIC,DVD/CDRW. I have partitioned the hard drive with ParttionMajic to accept Linux. I have installed Fedora and can boot to it, and I can boot to XP. The problem starts when I boot to Fedora Core. It starts to run, I get a picture of a computer on the screen, and once the phrase "setting up local disks" shows beside the picture of a computer it stops performing any actions and locks the computer. I have to reboot to do anything. Fedora core does not load. If anyone can help me get Fedora Core to boot, I would appreciate it. ===== Chris Stringer cstringer18@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
