Hi All,
I am attempting to install FC4 on a new machine which just has WindowsXP
on it (I want to dual boot). However, I don't get very far at all. The
DVD disk boots up and gives the usual questions, but no FC. At which I
hit enter for graphical installation. It loads the one file and then
initrd.img............. and then it reboots. I tried "linux noprobe" and
"linux text" but with the exact same results. The disks are good as they
have been used on different machines. When I use "linux garbage" first,
then "linux" or "linux text". I get a bit further then
IRQ11: nobody cared ...

Disabling IRQ11
Then system hangs.
My configuration:
ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe
2GB DDRII 533
Intel P4-531 3.0GHz PRESCOTT9(LGA775) processor
2 x 200GB (JB) WD S-ATA Hard drive
ATI Radeon X700 pro pci-express video
19" LG 1950SSN LCD monitor
LG GSA-4163B DVD+/-/RAM DUAL LAYER slave
PIONEER DVR-110 DVD+/-RW DUAL LAYER master
Any ideas?
I have only one idea and it may not be correct. When putting Linux on
a machine with a SATA drive I found I had to change the SATA drive
configuration in the BIOS. I can't remember which option I chose but
it would be easy to try a different option for SATA (my BIOS had
three) and see what happens.
The system ether has same problem or will not boot at all. Depending
BIOS settings
