Hello,
I am trying to install F14 from DVD on an empty Laptop.
After inserting the DVD, I get the menu:
1) Install a new system or upgrade an existing system 2) Install system with basic video driver 3) Rescue installed system 4) Boot from local drive 5) Memory test
I select option 1, and after a bit of fast output of the type
[ time ] Message ... the system stalls after the following message:
[ 3.762682] Initalizing network drop monitor service
The problem re-occurs after power cycling.
Is this an issue of hardware incompatibility? I have an old Fedora6 DVD, which works fine, but I would rather run a more up-to-date system.
Any help appreciated, Burkhard

I burned fc14 iso and installed it from DVD. I saw no such problem.
I believe you may have a bad burn.
Did you run the media check from the banner that pops up?
If not, I suggest you do so.
If that banner never pops up, you have a bad burn.
To burn more reliably, find another machine that can burn the iso, and that can reduce recording speed to 1 or 2. Slower recording speeds produce less errors in recording.

Did you test the DVD before installation? The system explicitly offers to do this. Always do it once for a newly-burned DVD.

The disk worked fine on another (older desktop) system. I will post the specifics of the computer where the problem occurred. - Burkhard

So that would be a "no". The fact that it worked on a different system is irrelevant unless the other system is identical, because the exact set of RPMs to be installed can easily vary from one system to another (differnet kernel architecture, different video card, etc.). Murphy's Law dictates that your DVD could have a bad spot just where one system reads it and the other doesn't.
Run the disk check before looking any further.

Where/how do I run the test? Option (5) in the menu? - Burkhard

From the Installation Manual
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Installation_Guide/ch-Boo...):
ISO images have an SHA256 checksum embedded in them. To test the checksum integrity of an ISO image, at the installation boot prompt, type:
linux mediacheck
You should also get a prompt to do this when booting from the install DVD.
