Same problem with a Dell Optiplex GX260. I was able to get the install going by disabling some hardware in the bios. And now to get it to boot, I've added the following options to the kernel: acpi=off pci=noacpi
Same here with a MSI Hermes 6243. I managed to drill it down to the following in my case: - Intel 82845G/GL graphics chip on-board - PCI video card, Matrox G400 /sbin/loader crashes if the display goes via the PCI card. Disabling some hardware in the BIOS (in my case the USB controller) helped but the install screen (where you get to decide to test the CDs) had a lot of weird characters in the background).
Yes, I've got the same with my Dell (Dimension 2300). Disabling the USB crontroller got me to the install screen also, but the weird chars made it difficult to continue. I also see this on the FC3 test 1.
confirmed. this bug still exists in FC3 test1 i've opened bug 129923 to track it for FC3.
Still seeing this in the FC3 release. What more info is needed? I see this everytime I try to install, so I can reproduce it simply. I'm happy to gather any needed info.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
