During or after the attempt to load the img my computer reboots. This machine has a Syntax MB w/ Via c3 @ 800mhz and onboard video. There is one hard disk and two CD's. FC1 is installed and runs nicely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot machine from CD 2.At the anaconda prompt hit return, type linux text and return, or linux checkmedia and return. 3. Actual Results: System reboots Expected Results: Installer comes up and starts the install script. Additional info:
This also happens on my machine, with a P4 3.2G and an ATI-Radeon based graphics card. The same DVD on a PIII with a Matrox G400 card boots fine
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.
