Does booting with 'linux nofb' help?
No, it doesnt. I already tried it. I had read the bugzilla report by a Mr. Daniel and your reply to the post said the same thing : to try linux nofb It does NOT work.
I have the same problem trying to install Fedora core 1 on my AMD 1400 system with 512kb ram. I have a Linux partition and a swap partition already set up on my hard disk with a windows 2000 ntfs boot partition. I have tried the 'nofb' 'text' 'noprobe' and other optins. No luck. I get the /sbin/loader with a flashing cursor just below it for about 10 seconds then the cursor disappears and the sytem hangs.
Further to my comment above, my problem is fixed. It was caused by a setting in the BIOS of my ASUS A7N266-VM motherboard. The USB Legacy device support was set to primary, setting to disabled fixed the problem. The installer still picked up my USB connected HP printer OK. I possibly could have got around the problem with a 'Linux NOUSB' option but it was already installing befor I thought of it!
