This may be the result of bad install media - did you run Media Check?
Hi, I have also an ASUS X71SL notebook and I have the same result with Fedora 11 ( but Fedora 10 work fine ). I have try with live CD , Usb Key , DVD but nothing work. I have update the Bios with the last ASUS version but no change. Best regards, Mick
Hi ! I have the same problem with an Asus X61S .... I don't think that the problem is the Media because i had no problem with the same Media on a HP laptop. I found this article: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=227616 .... now i try to follow it, maybe can be useful ! Best regards, Andrea
Yesss !!!! adding the parameter "pci=nomsi" the installation work properly !!! :o) Now i just have to make work the network adapter :p !! Best regards, Andrea
it is also good for me with the parameter "pci=nomsi" thanks a lot. Mick
Could the original reporter please verify whether or not pci=nosmi fixes this problem? Otherwise I'll be forced to close it since we've gone two months with no response to our request for information. Thanks.
F9 has been running great since it came out I read that one should install F10 before F11 so I did! Everything went great. (1) Then I tried to install the F11 iso dvd. After the "anaconda started" message at the bottom of a blue screen, the screen went blank and occasionally the message would appear: "cannot display this mode 2:dvd-d" Thinking the monitor had gone into power save, I hit many keys and moved the mouse to no avail. I gave up! BTW I had checked all media for errors. (2) then working under F10, a little message appeared from the lower right of the screen asking if I wanted to upgrade to F11. I accepted and again "cannot display this mode 2:dvd-d" on a black screen after anaconda started on a blue screen. This time no ISO DVD F11. I've never seen such an error message in 11 years (off and on) of using Linux. HD Disk activity was showing on the disk activity light so I let it run all night and part of today. I hit a bunch of keys and moved the mouse and the blue screen returned saying all was done and restarting. After restart, I seem to have F11 installed. I did a yum update and got some more F11 updates. On the grub screen, the only F11 kernel was the PAE kernel which I selected and got: [oracle@LMKIII OCI_NavSysError]$ uname -a Linux LMKIII 2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jul 31 04:40:15 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Does F11 have any F11 kernels? BTW running >setup (hd0,0) under F10 grub ruined my XP prof OS on scsi 0.
sorry the message is: "cannot display this mode 2:dvi-d"
In response to comments #7 and #8: Your problem has nothing at all to do with the original report. Please file a separate bug against xorg, not against anaconda.
The parameter "pci=nomsi" is resolve the issue. Closed as "not a bug"
