Hi there,
I'm proudly running Fedora Core 2 and I wished to upgrade to FC3t2, and
later to FC3t3.
I own a computer with a SATA Raid by Silicon Image on motherboard (my
computer specifications appear below). Unfortunately during boot up, my
installation stops after loading SATA_SIL module. On the screen, after
the dialog box "Loding SATA_SIL", some garbage characters appear (like
"#@$%@$^G54AWE#" or something similar ) an nothing else... I'm able to
change sceen by pressing Alt+F3 or F4 to see debug messages, but the
installation won't run any longer.


I kindly appreciate any kind of suggestion ..
Thanks in advance.
