RDD,Hello --
My first attempt to install FC2 failed during the installation of packages, with an error message that a particular package could not be found. I rebooted, and tested the installation media -- it failed. Stupid me, I should have done that before. Burned a new CD, tested it -- failed. Downloaded the ISO again, checked the MD5, burned a new CD, tested it -- failed. Hmmm... Pop the CD in another machine, reboot, test the media -- PASS! Switched out the CD-ROM drives between the two machines, so that the one that had passed the CD was now in my FC2-ToBe machine. Boot up, test media -- fail.
So.....apparently FC2 does not like something about my machine's hardware..? Have other people experienced similar issues? Are there known issues with certain types of hardware -- particular hard drives, motherboards, CPUs, etc. that FC2 is not compatible with? I can post more detailed specs on the system later if needed (at work now)... There is nothing terribly outdated about it, and it all worked fine on RH9.0.
Thanks a lot for any help!
This is just a guess, but you might try changing the boot arguments when the system boots off the cd. For example "linux nodma". See http://www.computing.net/linux/wwwboard/forum/24908.html Responce#2 for some other options.
Thanks,
