Weirdness with Fedora/XP upgrade

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	I had downloaded and burned another DVD, which I thought I would 
try. I put it into a machine which dual-boots, either to one hard drive 
with F8 or rarely to the other, which has XP.

	I ran the test on the disk, and all seemed well. The install 
began, and then suddenly the whole screen went white, and stayed that 
way. When at last I tried to goose it, it wouldn't react to anything, not 
even the power switch held down. I finally pulled the plug.

	It still boots to XP all right. It offers to boot to F8, the 
default, but I didn't check that; maybe I should. 

	So I put in the DVD from which I had successfully gotten F9 onto 
three machines, and told XP to reboot.

	It has done the same thing -- gone through the first few steps, 
only to sit there with a blank white screen.

	The monitor is new, a HP w2207h 1680x1050; but the other two PCs 
manage with it, both behind a KVM switch and directly connected. And the 
dual-boot machine is much the newest!

	What could be doing this, and how do I fix it??

Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.
