Does anyone know what the difference is between how version 11 initializes
hardware and how version 12 does it? Several years ago I played around with
Redhat linux for awhile. I've been trying to installing Fedora onto a
second harddrive on a system with XP on the first drive. Here is my
dilemma.
I downloaded version 11 and burnt them to CD. When I try to install it gets
to where it initializes hardware and hangs up/freezes. I searched thru the
forum and the only thing I found was that it points to hardware
compatibility. I checked and all my hardware seems compatible. I saw on
the forum where version 12 was released and decided to try that. The
install goes well and I get past the disk partitioning to installing the
bootloader. When I try to go to the nest step I get "Unable to read group
information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of
your installation." When I checked the forum for this message it talked
about a problem with the CDs burning. I checked according to the
instructions and the CDs checked out ok.
If I can figure out why version 11 hangs on initializing hardware I can
install that version. If I can figure out what version 12 halts after the
bootloader I can install that version. I am really interested in getting
Fedora installed.
