Do have the "back" button, but that goes back to the start. No way to get out of it for the x86_64 install. And not even clear what driver it is complaining about - says "installation media driver problem" - can't be network (I'm not installing from network), can't be DVD (I'm installing from DVD, and it booted from DVD, and started the install process), maybe it is the on-board SATA driver for the hard-drive? The x86_64 install also used a text-based menu Then I tried the i386 version and that goes through the full install process just fine, and uses graphical menu. > -------- Forwarded Message -------- >> From: Mike Chambers <mike@xxxxxxxxxx> >> To: Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora. >> <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Re: x86_64 install stuck "no driver found" >> Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2009 08:13:23 -0500 >> >> On Sat, 2009-06-20 at 21:13 -0400, B Wooster wrote: >> > Strange - says unable to find driver for this installation type - am >> > booting off DVD, and it read the DVD, booted, and then says "No driver >> > found"?
