This then asks whether I want to install new drivers. It seems clear that FC9 should know how to read the CD since it's already booting from the CD. Anyone know why it's saying that it can't find any CD/DVD ? I find that attempts to install older FC versions, though not generating backtraces, do give the same message about not finding devices. So maybe the question is then what to do about this. Could this machine be using hardware that's too new to be supported? Windows says I have disk drive = Hitachi HTS543216L9A3 SCSI Disk Device dvd = TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633A SCSI CdRom Device net = Realtek RTL8102E family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) I now also try choosing hard drive as the installation medium and get a message about having no hard drive. This also appears in older FC. One more experiment, FC9 i386 starts to boot and then stops, I think even earlier than x86_64 - the screen there looks like this: ... CPU 0 irqstacks, hard=... PID hash table entries: ... Detected 1900.193 Mhz processor Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 console [tty0] enabled Dentry cache hash table entries: ... Inode-cache hash table entries: ... Memory available... virtual kernel memory layout: ... Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...Ok.
