Description of problem: I'm intalling from CDs. I ran mediacheck on them all and they all passed. I have an LCD monitor and a Radeon 9200 video card. (This may be important later.) The chip is a Pentium 3.06GHz. Motherboard is Asus P4S800. I ran the GUI installer (chose to install everything) and everything was going swimmingly (graphics looked fine) until it prompted me about the boot diskette. I chose to make the boot diskette. I put the disk in, and it seemed to be writing, and then everything froze. The mouse pointer wouldn't move, and even the little floppy drive light was stuck on even though I couldn't hear any movement inside. I took the machine down and it rebooted well enough, but it came up to the TUI login and not the GUI one that I was expecting. I could log in as root and everything seemed OK. I even mounted the floppy drive, could read and write to the disk, and unmount just fine. So, I tried reinstalling and chose to skip the boot diskette. The installer ended just fine, but when I rebooted, the machine couldn't reboot on its own. So, I reinstalled again and chose to make the boot diskette, had the machine freeze, did a hard reboot, and could log in as root just fine. Still no GUI prompt. Once logged in, I tried startx, and that didn't work. I think that there's no config file, or something. I'll be the first to admit I'm a newbie at this, but I've installed RedHat 9 on laptops in the past without problems, so I got cocky and thought I knew what I was doing. I've attached a bunch of files I think are relevant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD #1. 2. Run installer. 3. Choose to make boot diskette. 4. Watch machine freeze. 5. Do hard reboot. 6. See that there is no GUI. OR 1. Boot from CD #1. 2. Run installer. 3. Choose to skip boot diskette. 4. Let installer finish and do a soft reboot. 5. Notice that machine cannot boot up itself. Actual results: GUI doesn't come up (first set of instructions). Machine can't boot itself up (second set of instructions). Expected results: GUI login and everything fine. Being able to startx. Additional info:

Boot disks are no longer made at install time in current releases of Fedora Core and so this is no longer relevant to fix.
