I think the not enough memory is a problem with DMA and some chip sets. There was dozen threads where turning off DMA solved things. Try "linux ide=nodma" at the Fedora installation boot prompt. Then add ide=nodma where you have been adding acpi=off and such for grub to find. I have not noticed if this has been fixed but once you have updated to the latest kernel it is easy to test. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Just say no to 74LS73 in 2004
