Hi, I recently bought a compaq notebook(CQ50-106AU), which has got an inbuilt Nvidia chipset. i have an vista installed in one of its paritioned volume. I tried to install Fedora in my system. Once cd got booted from my Optiarc ATA dvd drive, to my surprise i found that it hasnt detected my hard disk as well as my cd rom. Well then i used a command at the cmd (linux acpi apci pci=acpi)...then it detected my dvd drive and hdd. and my installation started and i finished it . But once it got over, when os got booted it was constantly restarting and not loading dvd driver or hdd again. The message was somewhat like "Kernel panics and cant sync", and cant mount the root volume). So i humbly request you to assist me in getting rid of this bug.
