Hi, I want to install Fedora 12 32bit on my MacBook Pro 5,2. I downloaded the Live CD but that wouldn't boot giving me the following message:
nouveau 0000:02:00.0 PRAMIN flush timeout
and nothing ater that (similar to what is described in this thread: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234023). If I added nomodeset to the boot parameters the system loaded but froze before when the vertical bars reached the end. If I boot without graphical interface the system boots and I get a prompt but I can't start x (result = black screen).
I have downloaded the DVD install instead and will see if that makes a difference (I found a thread that said it might but I can't find it now...). I will see if the DVD makes a difference and report back any findings.
I also wanted to ask advice on how (where) to install. I'm currently in a dual boot configuration (using reffit) with OSX and Fedora 11 which works great. I want to keep my FC11 install intact until I have everything up and running in FC12 and if possible install FC12 on the same disk. Is this a good/bad idea? Would it be better to install FC12 on a USB disk to begin with (that doesn't seem good to me but I know very little about these things).
Thanks for any advice.
best,
/Henrik
