cannot install FC3 on one PC, but can on an other PC

[Erik Grootjans]

I have an FC3 installation DVD
I tryed to install from the DVD on a 2,53 MHz P4 computer
and i get after the return
loading vmlinuz .........................................
loading initrd.img
.................................................................
.
.
.
running install ...
running /sbin/loader
after this it stays quiet.... nothing happens anymore.

I tryed to boot from a CD-rom with the boot.iso image ---> just the same
an other CD burned on an different burning speed --> just the same

I did the CD in an old P3 500MHz PC
and it booted
checked the DVD ---> pass
installed and updated FC2 to FC3

For my this is the question: why can i not install on the P4 2,53MHz
Computer. FC2 just went fine.

Does anyone have an idea what i could try.

Thanks

Erik

Perhaps "linux text" for starters.  Could also provide some detail on
the hardware like motherboard version, chipset, video card.

How is the boot order set in the bios?  Maybe you need to change to
make the box see the atapi drive as the first device.  Also if this is
on a network make sure it isn't trying something like 'network boot'
and getting hung up there, turn the nic off if you have one of those
newfangled ones with the PxE chip.  I would recommend sniffing around
in the bios to see whatever else might need to be enabled or disabled.
