Same on a completely different x86 box... Probably something to do with ncurses or something What language are you installing in? Did you add a lang= to the boot parameters? Also try booting with the nofb option. Language=English. No lang= parameter. Trying nofb option now. Hi, nofb doesn't change anything. The problems starts before the language selection; the "Welcome to Fedora Core" already is wrong This also happens during a clean install of Core 5 Test 2. With a nVidia GeForce 6600 GT and an Optiquest V95 Monitor. x86_64 bit architechure. Are you both doing HTTP or FTP installs? I'm able to reproduce it like that. CD install. I'm doing FTP install from boot.iso with "linux text" Didn't try CD or DVD installs for FC5test2 Pardon my curiosity, but what caused the problem? We use dietlibc instead of the full libc on these network install images to keep the size down. This includes some stubs of utf-8 related functions to trick our interface into working correctly. We weren't stubbing out enough functions, so consequently something in the interface was calling a function that didn't exist and resulting in the junk you were seeing on the screen. makes sense - thanks for the update |
