I would very much appreciate any help on upgrading to FC9 on the HP dx5150. Whenever I try I only get a message to the effect that anaconda was abnormally terminated and that I should reboot. I think the problem has to do with the video card (ATI RADEON EXPRESS), but I am not sure. With FC8 the installation went smooth. Again: could anyone help me?

again: the upgrade is not recommended. Blow up FC8 and fresh install FC9.
This stated, seems to me like a iso defect: I see no reason for Anaconda to crash right in first stage

Thanks a lot! Trying to fresh install FC9 has the same result: anaconda closes abruptly. An iso defect is also not the case. The DVD has been tested. By the way: I have tried with the install CDs---the same problem!

weird, what can possibly be changed so much in Anaconda to have it crash in FC9 and not FC8? this can be a question for someone who knows about this...

And where can I find someone who knows about this? In the Forum?

you just have to wait and hope someone with that knowledge will:

1) pass by
2) have the time/will to answer

good luck :)
