Cannot Ctrl-Alt-Fn anywhere. Tried booting with "linux" "linux reiserfs" "linux noacpi nofb" "linux reiserfs noacpi nofb", all hang. Also tried booting to text install with the same options as above, just adding "text" in the string. This install option goes through probing hardware then hangs at "Disabling IRQ #3", same symptoms of not being able to Ctrl-Alt-Fn anywhere. Disabled USB legacy support in the BIOS. Disabled the serial port in the BIOS. Reserved IRQ 3 in the BIOS. This simply changed the text install hang to "Disabling IRQ #4" or "Disabling IRQ #9". I have FC2 installed on 3 other computers, all installed fine with the CD's and a created DVD from the mkdvdiso.sh script. The install media PASSes the install check. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD 1 2. Skip test the media and proceed with the install 3. Install hangs Actual Results: Install hangs at Fedora Core in graphical install logo or at "Disabling IRQ #3" in text install. Expected Results: Install should continue as normal.

Replaced the hard drive. Install completed normally. Closing as this was related to bad hardware.
