I also checked the Looonnnggg thread on the bug report for the p4p800 class mother board... At first glance this is not the same problem.... My linux seems to boot up during install, but the installer seems to die... I get the Blue screen (Fedora Core on top left) with prompts on how to proceed/select items, etc. After some initial messages about initializing usb, sata, etc (I will have to try and capture the sequence) The box appears to hang... Disk Light on for about a minute or 2... Then Poof... Junk characters all over the screen and nothing... No keyboard, no num lock, etc... Hard reset... The box is currently running Win xp and Redhat 9 on separate hard drives with boot floppy... Also Video card is OLD compared to rest of hardware... 4M S3 pci card. This was my first thought due to the funny characters... Thanks for your patience...(And sorry about the subject problem...) ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- From: jbest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Update: Fedora Install Failure Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 19:23:06 +0000 ASUS P4PE motherboard with 2.6g P4...
