Hi,
I'm completly new to Fedora/Redhat and used former SuSE Prof. So hi there. :)
Today I tried to install Fedora Core 1 tomy Compaq Presario Notebook, type is 919EA. The system freezes already at the language selection, the LED for the harddisk goes on and stays so. Even after a while no further choices could be done, system is dead. I already investigated the release notes and tried different switches to the kernel as well, without any success. I read that on the Sony Vaio in case of problems the options pci=off and ide1=<0xadress1>, <0xadress2> should be used, but where do I get these adresses from? Using just pci=off results to a kernel panic (of course).
Any hints, tips and tricks appreciated, regards, Thomas

Did you try going into the bios settings and turning off legacy USB support? Had to do that on 2100 series Presario laptops.

Did you try acpi=on kernel parm? e.g. "linux acpi=on" at install prompt. Also, don't know if 919EA has this in common with Presario 2100Z and 2500, but go into BIOS setup during boot, and disable "legacy USB", if you have such a setting.
