Stuck on install with Fedora 11 Alpha 64bit.

[_Sky_]

I've tried three times and every time my Fedora 11 install freezes once it gets to the "Install Anyway" dialog. I click install anyway button and the system freezes. No keyboard or mouse response at all. In fact one time it froze when the "install Anyway" box launched. I didn't have time to click "Exit" or "Install Anyway" that time. What is this all about?

Dunno. Can you do anything with CTRL/ALT/F1 through F7 ??

I tried those combos, here are the results:

CTRL-ALT-F1 & Last four lines:
iscsiadm could not read fw values
iscsiadm no records found
iscsiadm could not read fw values
iscsiadm no records found


CTRL-ALT-F2:
just a prompt, waiting for input


CTRL-ALT-F3 & last line:
moving (1) to step and rootparts


CTRL-ALT-F4 & last line:
(6) device mapper: multipath round robin: version 1.0.0 loaded


CTRL-ALT-F5 & last line:
['xrandr', '-s', 800x600','--dpi','96']


CTRL-ALT-F6:
Goes back to gfx installer but it is all messed up. (no text, only dialog boxes)


CTRL-ALT-F7
blank screen.

Best I can do is send you here, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options. There are several command line install options that you could try, based on whether you think it's a graphics issue or some other hardware issue.

Wow, seems like pretty complex stuff. I think I'm going to skip all this and go with another distro.

Yeah, like Fedora 10. Fedora 11 is Alpha as it states.

Fedora 10 is not an option since I'm using latest hardware. (i7+x58) Some of it was released post Fedora 10 launch.
