At this point I got really angry about Fedora: no matter how beta a released distro it is supposed to complete its install and this one doesn't even start it.
Statistical value of one sample -> nil.
Please file a bug and include hw info so we can work out why it fails in your case.
I will fill a report tonight but: 1) The recording system is an Athlon with Nforce 2 chipset and Liteon LTR-48246S as CD recorder running RedHat 9 with all updates applied. The image didn't boot from the Athlon be it from the DVD reader or the CD writer. It also didn't boot on my test on my test machine a K6 with a CD reader and an SCSI CD writer (failed to boot from both, and yes the box can boot from both). So at this point the image has failed to boot from 4 readers. And I reburned it in case the media was defective. I also notice that someone with the same problem succeeded in doing a mediacheck (through booting with FC2T1) and it succeeded so I don't believe it is a media or writer problem.
2) the problem who really angered me is the realtive to the boot.iso contained in CD1: the fact it says me it cannot use my _IDE_ CDROM, the fact it says me it cannot use my _IDE_ disks, the fact I see it loading the driver for my SCSI controller but then it says me it cannot use my SCSI CD writer, the fact I see it loading the via-rhine driver but then it says me it cannot use my ethernet card
