I am attempting to install Linux on a new machine. I boot the Linux (FC6) DVD. Vliminuz boots, and gives the : Command prompt. No matter what “linux <argument>” command
I give, the response is the same. I have tried “linux rescue”, “linux
noprobe”, “linux nomraid”, as well as all of the optional
arguments that are listed by the F2 key. After entering “linux
<argument>” or simply waiting, I see a list of hardware drivers,
followed by the access of Three appropriate drivers for this machine. Then the screen
goes blue with the text: <Welcome to Fedora Core> (and at the bottom of the screen) “<TAB /Alt-Tab> between elements | <Space>
select | F12 next screen” Anaconda never runs, and the only response to the keyboard
is to reboot to <alt><control><delete> Other than that, this system is dead until you reboot. Everything works fine when I am running XP. I have never had
any problems with the DVD/RW Except when I try to install FC6. Can anyone tell me what is going on? IN all my worldly
ignorance, I do not understand. Is it the chipset? Is it the way the drives are configured
in BIOS? Is it that FC6 does have the Proper drivers? Here are the gory details of the system specs of the
machine: Motherboard: ASUS P5WD2 Chipset: 955X Hd: Seagate ST3250824AS Video: GeForce 6600 DVD/ CD Rom Drives Sony DVD RW DW-Q120A
