I just installed Fedora on a Compaq laptop (appeared to be successful). Windows XP is installed on the 40G partition and LINUX has it's own 20G partition. The GRUB dual boot appears to work fine (it displays the DOS and LINUX options). Then, it appears to start LINUX (lots of lines of code fly by) but freezes when the Fedora Core graphics opens and the progress bar says "Show Details" and the 'setting up local disks' disappears <-- it freezes here. The 3 GRUB commands are: 1> root (hd0,1) 2> kernal /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb 3> initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img Any thoughts?
