Hi there, I'm proudly running Fedora Core 2 and I wished to upgrade to FC3t2, and later to FC3t3. I own a computer with a SATA Raid by Silicon Image on motherboard (my computer specifications appear below). Unfortunately during boot up, my installation stops after loading SATA_SIL module. On the screen, after the dialog box "Loding SATA_SIL", some garbage characters appear (like "#@$%@$^G54AWE#" or something similar ) an nothing else... I'm able to change sceen by pressing Alt+F3 or F4 to see debug messages, but the installation won't run any longer. I kindly appreciate any kind of suggestion .. Thanks in advance.
