Fedora Users — You are trying to install on a machine which isn't supported by this release of Fedora Core

Hi,

I encountered the same error somebody posted on the Bugzilla forum:

"You are trying to install on a machine which isn't supported by this

release of Fedora Core."

I installed Fedora Core 1 from CD’s that were included in the book ‘Red Hat Linux and Fedora Unleashed’ from

The authors Bill Ball and Hoyt Duff.

Some guy Matt responded to this posting with:

Hi Chris!

It seems you are not the first to have this problem:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06460.html

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06177.html

The second link suggests it may be that the kernel package is not being

included in the package list. See this Bugzilla report for an anaconda

code snippet that shows what triggers this error message:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=106590

BTW, Are you the same Chris Negus of "Red Hat Linux Bible" series fame?

If so, I own your book; it's great! :-)

Regards,

I just selected the ‘install server’ option, and after the partitioning I also have to wait for about 10 – 15 minutes before the message pops up, just the same

situation like the one above.

The Bugzilla report mentions the fact that a package named kernel has to be included in the RPMS list. Does that mean that my Fedora Core 1 CD’s are

bad ? I installed them perfectly on a regular Compaq PC.

Thanks in advance,

Greets,
