hi, i downloaded and burned the 4 cds of FC2 .....yesterday i also completed a successful installation on a dell poweredge 2600 using these cds....mediacheck of these cds is also ok.....today i tried to install another ibm netvista box with intel 845 chipset....the cds booted fine ....but after language and keyboard selection it asks for location of installation media giving following options
local cd-rom hard drive nfs ftp http
which is really weired and i have never encountered this dialog before....i tried to select local cd rom but then it gives error that no installation medium found....can someone help me in this matter.....thanks in advance...
It basically means that the installation program is unable to see your cdrom drive. It was able to boot from it (probably due to the system BIOS support), but for some reason or other, once the Linux started running the installation program, that version of Linux is unable to find it. I'd change to an alternate console and check out any error (and other) messages that might be present in VC 3 and VC 4....
(VC 1 runs the text install, VC 2 should have a shell prompt, VC 3 contains output from what's happened so far, and VC 4 contains any error messages (syslog messages?)) If you got into the graphical install, that would be running in VC7.
