Description Steve Lipps 2006-06-06 03:47:51 EDT 
Description of problem: 
I can't install FC5 on a HP xz275 Pavillion. 
 
Booting from FC5 disc 1, at the install screen the graphic is messed up, the 
help keys don't work, and there is a "Unknown keyword in config file" above 
the "boot:" prompt.  I get "Could not find kernel image: linux" when I try to 
install.  If I type "memtest" at the "boot:" prompt, it loads and runs.  If I 
type "vmlinuz" it loads a bit and crashes. 
 
I've installed from--and tested--two different sets of install CD's on two 
desktop machines without problem.  I've also installed a number of other Linux 
distributions, such as Suse 8, SuSe 10.1, Ubuntu, Knoppix, RedHat 8, and FC3 
on this laptop without problem. 
 
I found two similar reports (on other brands of machines) in Fedora-list for 
May and June, but neither had a solution, and unlike one report, I am NOT 
seeing any complaints about the keyboard. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
 
 
How reproducible: 
Fails every time. 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Insert disc 
2. Power on 
3. Press enter at prompt. 
   
Actual results: 
Could not find kernel image: linux 
 
Expected results: 
Install starts. 
 
Additional info: 
Until entering this report, I hadn't noticed the "unknown keyword" message.  
Searching for that message, I see there are three other bug reports on other 
brands of laptops.  On that basis, entering "vmlinuz initrd-initrd.img" seems 
to be working for me.
