I have a Philips Freevents X51 laptop and I'm having real problems getting the F7 installation DVD to boot.
It boots to the initial screen, where you press "enter" to start the. installation, but at that point it seems that the keyboard is unrecognised. Pressing any key has no effect at all.
I think where you are in the loading you don't need any keys.I think you're wrong. I think you may be misunderstanding how soon in the process I see the problem. This is the initial text screen. Where it says "press [enter] to continue".
Tell me if your mouse works and can you click on the thing in the far left bottom? It takes a long time to go on but just be patient.
As I understand it, there's no mouse driver loaded at this point. There's certainly no mouse pointer visible. And I wouldn't expect to see one.

Hi Dave, well your saying it is stopping before you see a pointer on your screen. That makes me think now that the loader thinks you have too little RAM to load in the usual way. You have few choices then. I think if FC6 loaded fine your better to get that back running.
