We need more info. What stage of the installation are you in when this happens? I.e. booting to the CD, middle of install, after install on first boot, etc. Are you stuck with FC3? Could you try FC4, Ubuntu, or others? What is the rest of the hardware? The processor rarely has anything to do with these issues. Most often I see this kind of error when your boot image doesn't have the module for your hard disk controller. I've also had similar problems on machines with bad RAM while trying to load the install CD's image into memory. Anyway, give us some more info and maybe we can help. -Eric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
