<br>The most common problems have to do with interrupt routing, DMA<br>channels, APMI issues and that sort of thing. There's lots of work-<br>arounds and we need to know what may be appropriate for you. If you<br>could tell us what's displayed when you hit "ALT-F3" and "ALT-F4" when
<br>it's stalled, that may help as well.</blockquote><div><br><br><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Nothing's displayed at all. I don't have a problem with either the F7 or FC6 boot DVDs! :(</span>
