I'm having the same problem as Frode Petersen had with FC 6. See May 2007 list thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-May/msg00430.html I was able to install FC 6 OK, but I have had the DVD not recognized (after a successful boot) in both F7 test 4 and now the real F7. (My bad that I didn't report it, but I figured surely someone else would have the same problem.) As near as I can tell in the thread, no one had a solution except to try another DVD device or maybe a new mobo. Frode's last msg had a complicated test he was going to try, but his first thesis (that I agree with) is that a DVD that boots Ok should be able to be used for the rest of the installation! The exact sequence of events for me is: Boot the DVD for a graphical install/upgrade select: "English" "US" "Local CDROM" # shouldn't that now say CD/DVD? or one selection for each? then the response: Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk? Selecting "select driver" gives a LONG list that I've selected all and found none that work. The system eventually gives a failure and reboot. My mobo is an old Gigabyte Dual Athlon with USB 1 and all IDE devices. I'll be happy to do some more detailed logging if anyone can suggest something meaningful to try. Thanks for any help. -Tom P.S. I'm now going home and try F7 on my new home system, currently running FC 6.
