I have tried to install Fedora (Fedora 6, Fedora 5, Fedora 2) on my pc using
a Sony DVD RW DV-Q120A.
No matter which version of Fedora I use, the installation doesn't run. In
the case of Fedora 6, Anaconda
Never starts and I get a blue screen and no response except to
<alt><cntrl><delete>.
Has anyone had problems with the Sony DVD writer? Can anyone make
recommendations about
DVD drives that are known to work?
I haven't tried booting from it for an install but this drive:
[root@bend ~]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
SONY DVD RW AW-Q170A
seems to work in all other respects (read/write of CDs, and both single
and double layer DVDs). As one of the other responses suggested, try
different bootable media (earlier Fedora CD or DVD, Windoze, whatever)
before blaming the drive.
Cheers,
Dave
