I bought a new PC (Dell Dimension w/ Pentium D) and installed Fedora 6 on it. All went fine and after the install the system was rebooted and I was able to log on. I then did shutdown and when I tried to boot up the next day, the bootup process hung after enabling disk quotas. I searched the archive and found a similar post that suggested that the graphics wasn't working. I rebooted with linux rescue, changed the runlevel to 3 in inittab, and now I saw a stack trace and a Segmentation Fault for the line in rc.sysinit that does a rm -rf on a bunch of things in /tmp. I have tried to reinstall, but my original DVD didn't work, the install got hung while resolving dependencies of the packets I want to install. I have downloaded Fedora 6 another 4 times and burned new DVDs, but the installation process complains on each of them that the DVD image is broken when I test the DVD before starting to install. (the original DVD passed before my initial install, but since has the same problem when I test it.) If I try to install from any of these DVDs, the install still hangs when resolving packages. I don't know if there is a hardware problem. It seems hard to imagine since it is a brand new PC and before I even started install linux, I booted up with the Windows XP that it came with and everything appeared to be fine. However, trying to reinstall Windows XP from the DVD I got in the purchase also fails. It somehow hangs while booting from the DVD giving me a blank screen. Any help or hints are welcome. I have installed RedHat on numerous PC's some years ago and never had any problems at all.
