From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; (R1 1.3); .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: System: Compaq Presario SN1020NX Celeron 2.8 GHz, 512 MB ram, motherboard is unknown. When I installed official Fedora 2.0 release. Computer reboots immediately after 'loading initrd.img'. So I tried a few workarounds. For example, using a workaround CD suggested by a few people http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/asusp4p800-boot.iso the computer still reboots immediately after 'loading initrd.img'. Finally, I decided to get a try to Fedora 3.0 test release (10-5- 04), same thing happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC3-test3-i386-disc1.iso 05-Oct-2004 21:43 610M How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put the FC3-test3-i386-disc1.iso into CD-ROM 2. Reboot PC 3. Computer reboots immediately after 'loading initrd.img'. Additional info: Office Fedora 2.0 release as well as popular workaround CD image http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/asusp4p800-boot.iso cause the same reboot effect as the exact same place.
Does rawhide fare any better?
Testing with the RC tree would also be really useful, as a lot of kernel bugs got killed between test3 and now. http://testing.fedora.redhat.com/tree/
I have same issues with my new Presario. However the Knoppix boot CD boots perfectly. System Hardware Conf is given below...
