Really, I started to monitor this thread to learn about troubleshooting an install. I have learned much. You have obviously been around this for a long time. Probably you have checked all the things I have mentioned or will mention. Still, it is easy to get distracted when things do not work so - a couple of things: 1. From what you wrote you get the same results using the same disk on several systems. Most of the warnings in the log concern things not found and then trouble mounting the disks, partitions, etc.. Time to confirm the CD or DVD you are using (md5sum or whatever). You might also try some different brand CDs or different writers and/or readers. 2. By all means google the disk brand / model with Linux and or Fedora 8. 3. In your CMOS utility look for parameters which relate to how the disk is "talked" to. Change it from what is probably "auto" to your best guess made by reading your disk service manual. If there are delay parameters which appear to relate to disk communication you might consider changing them as well. Make only one change at a time then consider carefully if you want to try a couple at once. Use a notebook and document each step. Good Hunting! Tod
