Currently, NO OS is on the machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert Fedora Core 2 Install disk 1 into machine and start up 2.Go through the media test -- everything passes 3.Do nothing else! Error occurs when x-server tries to start up. Additional info:
Are there any errors on tty4 when this occurs?
not that i can discern. screen goes blank, then the aforementioned dialog comes up with details of the error. also note, install occurred sucessfully on 3rd attempt. first two tries generated this error, third try went all the way through (but then just hangs on the reboot).
Switching to tty4 (ctrl+alt+f4) should let you see kernel messages to see if there are any read errors.
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have further information to add to this report.
