I apparently installed FC5
successfully. However on the first boot it stalled as it began loading udev and remained so however long I waited.
I have 1GB of Memory and believe this may be part of the problem. I have used memtest86 and have no memory problems with other linux systems.The Mandriva 2006 release provides kernels for 1GB and 4GB
When running the installer program it stalled before loading Anaconda unless a parameter of 'linux mem=896M' or less was passed. A parameter of 1024M also stalled.
Can a similar parameter be passed to the program kernel and more importantly how would it be done?
If there is no solution I shall, like many others, go away for a few months and hope for a patched ISO kernel. I can do little if I can't boot the system.When running the installer program it stalled before loading Anaconda unless a parameter of 'linux mem=896M' or less was passed.
