Hello,
I am trying to install F14 from DVD on an empty Laptop.
After inserting the DVD, I get the menu:
- Install a new system or upgrade an existing system
- Install system with basic video driver
- Rescue installed system
- Boot from local drive
- 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.
