a bit of background.. I am a newb who just recently became interested in setting up a home server and Amahi caught my attention, which requries fedora 9..
I am running a dual xeon 1.7 and trying to install to a 17gig scsi.
I followed all indications and downloaded the x86_64 dvd iso and burned it without issue.
Upon bootup I got the msg that it was the wrong kernel and that I needed an i1586.. After a bit of poking around I found that this is the msg you get when you are trying to install 64 bit on 32 bit.
So I downloaded the i386 dvd iso and burned it without issue.
It gets a bit further in the vmlinuz, until you hit agpgart: Detected an intel i860 chipset, and then hangs (keyboard locked, 3 finger salute no worky)
Now before I go and download another version, I need to know which version thatmight be if it isn't either one of the 2 I have already tried? If the version isn't the problem, then what can I do/change about what I am doing to make this puppy fly?
Thanks for the help,
Aaron

That DVD should work.

That would be a bug.

The install guide has some suggestions on boot options you can try. It may also be worth checking if any related hangs were fixed in updates - if so then Fedora 10 or the Fedora 9 respins might work better. Offhand I can't remember one, or a matching bug report but others may know.
