Hello Paulo,

Have you verified you have a good iso image?  Have you tried a live CD?  Do
you know what your video card is?

Hi mike.

Yes man, of course I know that.
I always do the checksum verify task (i understand the corruption downloads
possibility).

The hardware configuration is:
Dell XPS-15z - Intel core i7-2620M 2.7-3.4 GHz CPU + 8 GB RAM.
2 graphic adapters: 1-)  Intel HD Graphic 3000 family.
                                 2-)  nVidia GeForce GT-525M - 3D Vision
(with 2 GB memory).
Full HD 1080p led display monitor.
750 GB hard disk.
etc...

I have Fedora-15-i686 (32 bits platform) installed on that machine and it is
working fine..
My problem is with Fedora-15-x86_64 (64 bits platform)

The problem is not the video driver or my video card man.
The installer for any reason stays "waiting for hardware to initialize" and
halts.
ONLY in Fedora-15-x86_64.
This occurs with the "base video" option too (using "xdriver=VESA" kernel
option).

I think may be unsupported chipset, because this machine is a new Dell
product.
But I don't know if is this in fact...

Please Mike verify with some friends if the they know about this problem
with Dell XPS-5z.

Thanks and happiness to you man.

Paulo (Paul).
