I didn't notice it before I posted my message, but I found it interesting that another potential Fedora user had posted a very similar problem to mine immediately before my message was posted. I'd like to switch to Fedora, but I can't get it to come up. Note: I did check the image sums before I burned the DVD. I did have k3b verify the image, and it reported it binary equal. I did have Fedora check the media before I started the install. I've seen some suggestions about graphics cards. My card is running fine in two different distributions and in Windows (I'm aware that this doesn't eliminate that as a potential problem, but it certainly diminishes the probability. If any OS were the only one that couldn't use the card, I'd question the wisdom of using it). There was a question about /usr and / being in the same partition. I'm bringing /home up in its own partition, but everything else shares a partition (except my windows partition. I'm not going to let my Linux installation touch my Win2K partition). That said, my install runs through the point that it tries to boot. It reaches the point that it says: Mounting local filesyste [Failed] Enabling local filesystem quotas [OK] Enabling /etc/fstab swaps At this point, the boot hangs and goes no further. I've noted that other people have reported the same problem. It (obviously) bothers me that it failed to mount the local file system. Regardless, I can't get Fedora Core 6 up. I have wiped my Fedora install and reinstalled kubuntu. I'm willing to try again if there is any realistic hope of getting Fedora up, but my window of opportunity is only on weekends for this, and that window is rapidly closing. Can anyone offer any help, or is Fedora Core 6 just a lost cause? I'd have trouble believing that, but I guess anything is possible. Thanks in advance ---Michael
