I am having all kinds of problems installing FC4 on a Dell Optiplex GX620. When I try and use the FC4 CDs, it fails to find the hard drive. The controller is the on board Intel SATA controller. I know the hardware works fine because I can install FC3 on the Dell and it works as long as the BIOS is configured for combined mode. If I do a yum update, the latest FC3 kernel fails to boot. Does anyone know how to install FC4 on these boxes. I suspect the latest 2.6.15 works as reported in http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ushankar/linux-dell.html <http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ushankar/linux-dell.html>. Does anyone know how to replace the kernel on the FC4 CDs to get these systems to install properly? Bruce
You could holding off for a few days until FC5 is released instead of trying to install FC4. Anyway, do you have both SATA and IDE drives installed? I have a Dell Optiplex that uses two 80 Gig SATA drives but has no IDE drives installed. It did not have any issues upgrading FC4 from FC3. It is not a GX620 though.
