Re: Fedora 8 install failure

Hello,
I'm trying to install Fedora 8 x86_64 on my HP Compaq 8710p laptop.
The DVD boots fine, I tell the install to do a new install, come to the
blue screen that
loads some drivers and end up at the disk check requester. After the
check is done (or skipped),
/sbin/loader blows me away with a SIGSEGV error and shuts down the system.
I have also tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and OpenSUSE 10.3. They install
and works flawlessly.
However, I'm a Fedora guy ;-)
Any suggestions?
Hi Anders,
Could you try a Re-Spin from Fedora Unity? They have been built using a
newer kernel and could therefore resolve the problem. I'm not sure that
it actually does, but it may.
The Re-Spins are available on http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins using
Jigdo or Torrent.
