Fedora Users — Installing Fedora 8 on Intel Core Duo

I have just bought a new PC which I am going to use as a server. I havebeen using Fedora Core 5 on the old one for about 5 years and I was veryhappy with it. I am also using Fedora 8 on my laptop and I'm very happywith it.

The installation goes very well, I've got all the screens and I choosewhat to install and what not. Mind you, at this point the server is NOTyet connected to the router (if that makes a different). After theinstallation has finished it ask to reboot, to which of course I sayyes. But the boot hangs, or so it seems.

I've got the text output up to the point when it says "Starting udev".with one error maybe. The message "dmi_save_oem_string_devices: out ofmemory" appears. Then the screen goes black (and actually the monitor'slight goes yellow, like there wasn't any signal). Nothing seems to bringit back to live.

I've read that maybe I should use Fedora 7 instead of 8. As I said Ihave been using Fedora 8 on my laptop for some time with no trouble atall. But then again, it's a Pentium Centrino not a Dual Core.


Any help?
