This also happens to me with Fedora Core 2 x86_64 installation.
Same motherboard, but only one SATA drive installed.

I've tried starting the installation with the noapic and nomce flags,
as suggested in various forums, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.

any better with the latest updates ?

Comment 3 David Waring 2005-02-24 16:54:41 UTC
Yes, for me it was.

I had a system crash the other day (problem with grub-install not working with
latest kernel update RPMs) and stupidly wiped my MBR and patrition tables so had
to do a full reinstall. Anyway, the FC3 x86_64 CDs boot and installed no problem.


Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 19:18:30 UTC
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.

This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update.
It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005.
If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug.

There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only
way to purge them.

Thank you.
