Fedora Core 2 Test 2 -- problems booting from boot.iso

[rooty]

Since the bug in the first iso which prevents most people from booting normally, I burned the boot.iso only to find out my hard drives cannot be found (something about incompatible drivers, asks me to provide a driver disk). That happens with hard drive installation option :confused:

During loading the initial kernel all my HDs were found even ones on IDE card. Very weird and frustrating since hard drive installation is the only option for me. I know it's a devel release, however maybe some of you had this problem already.

Yes the problem is in the first disk.


I have downloaded the ISO several times from different sites and I still have the same problem.

It just makes my PC reboot.

I also burned the ISO to different media and at different speeds.

I sure hope somebody can figure out what is happening.

You can solve this problem easily by using the Disk 1 of Fedora Core 1 to initial the booting and then exchange it back with the Disk 1 of Fedora Core 2 to start install.
