From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.50 [en] Description of problem: I downloaded the Installdiscs for FC2 from the net. I checked the first disc with the md5 checksum. I put the installer-disc into the CD-ROM/DVD device. I boot from the installer-disc. The kernel messages run over the screen. Then I can choose with installer to choose (graphical or text mode). Neither graphical or text mode work because the next screen is always a blue screen. On the bottom of the screen I see the commands for choosing or switching the menues. I got this error on my Aspire1356 LMI with Atholon-M Processor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Put the CD into the drive Additional info:
Can you try booting with 'linux nousb' to see if that helps?
Doesn't help either. The install media is okay. Just tried in a Toshiba Laptop. BTW: It's before the menu with the media check comes.
I've search linuxquestions.org and I found this thread about my problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php? s=&threadid=185406&highlight=fc+install
In the previous comment I mentioned a thread in linuxquestions. The suggested burning of the FC2 install cd on the target computer didn't work.
Also happens with Sony Vaio PCVRX850 trying to install Core 3.
I was able to work around the problem by booting "linux -nofb" at the screen where the install mode (text/graphics) is chosen.
