[chepioq]

Is there a torrent files?
And for the checksum where is the method (md5, sha1, sha224 or other) ?

[Demz]

no torrent files. its not official as of yet till the 18th of this month. the checksums are there. .did you look?

[chepioq]

OK
I have download this, but the checksum is not good, for test I burn it on dvd-rw, but after the splash screen, I choose install normal, I see the dvd is charging, anaconda begin, but black screen...
I re-test with "install with basic video driver" for same result...

[Demz]

if the checksum wasnt good why are you bothering to install it? ..what speed did you burn the iso at?

[chepioq]

I know it is not a good idea to boot with a bad checksum dvd...
It is just for test (I test the rawhide since Fedora9 alpha and it is the first time I have a bad checksum...).
I burn the iso with a 2.4 speed...

[Demz]

you wasted your time booting with a bad checksum dvd

[chepioq]

OK...
I re-download the dvd iso...

[Demz]

how did it go now?

[chepioq]

Just a moment please... I have for an hour download...

[chepioq]

Hi...
Bad news...
I re-download the iso of dvd and I have a bad checksum...
I don't know why...
I wait for the official one the 18 august...

[Demz]

maybe bad burn? did you do a checksum on it before you burnt it?

[chepioq]

I do the checksum before burning...
But I just see on the wiki of fedora-fr:A partir de Fedora 11, cette vérification s'effectue grâce à la commande sha256sum depuis un terminal

And I do the checksum without sha256sum, just sha1sum...
With sha256sum, the checksum is good...
I burn the dvd-rw I and see what happen...

[chepioq]

Bad new...
I burn the dvd, and there is same problem like my #4 post:
black screen after running anaconda...

[domg472]

I managed to install it.

With Nvidia card, Anaconda does not show up (black screen)
With Intel card, screen flickers as heck, but anaconda shows up
With Intel care and install option "use default driver", Anacond shows up without flicker.

Anaconda still has /boot set to ext3.
I changed it to ext4, works but installation does not complete fully (no installation complete. restart computer now message) had to kill it.

It seemed that when i enabled rawhide repo in Anaconda installation hanged on kernel (not sure but i got no response so i killed it)

When not enabeling rawhide repo it did not hang on kernel installation.

Anaconda screen seemed a bit bigger but still black bars top bottom sides.

No firstboot. Had to add a user in tty1

Network Manager acted strange and when i tried to update using eth0 netif , system hung.

retried using network instead of network manager and updated.

After todays updates no more GUI

Xorg.0.log reports about a segfault (gcc)

That's all folks

[chepioq]

I have an nvidia card, so may be it is my problem.
But for me an my laptop (toshiba X200 with 8700M GT), may be it is another problem:
Before I attempt install this DVD, I test rawhide by installing an F11 and update with the rawhide repo.
And with this install, all the kernel 2.6.31 don't boot (black screen and freeze of my laptop)
I install an F12-2.6.30 kernel, an I boot with this...
Do you think that is may be an 2.6.31 kernel problem?
I sent a rapport on bugzilla , but no respond... ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513680)

[domg472]

Maybe, yes. I dunno for sure.

[domg472]

And with regard to this:

http://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=124947919105056&w=2

I did get a cursor. not an arrow but a cross.

[STEVE555]

Hi all,
I might give the new Fedora Alpha 12 DVD.iso a try,but having seen the errors from some of the people who tried it,I might try the next daily build(if there is one for these).

And also after I've copied all the stuff that I downloaded and that is non-standard with a fresh install into my windows partition.

Regards,
STEVE555

After updating xorg-x11-server to 27.20090804 (koji) it lets me use a GUI again.

Only works with Intel card & vesa module, else black screen.

I think this is related:
http://airlied.livejournal.com/67628.html

I just removed the nomodeset kernel option and although it loaded with the intel card. it flickered/flashed as the installation did without using default driver.

So i think it is a work in progress...

LiveCD's Available

[ryptyde]

No luck here with the i586 Live image, verified the integrity with sha1sum used liveusb-creator to install to a 1GB flash drive gets as far as udev stalls then throws a kernel panic. :(

[phoenixpb]

I have tried the livecd
monitor power off during booting :eek:

[NBZ]

I tried to installed x86_64 Live cd (RC2 for Fedora 12 alpha) and it does not install - anaconda always crashes before starting.

When booting with selinux=0 the same thing happens, and trying to start the setup from the terminal gives what seems like a dbus error.

After installing Fedora 12 Alpha, no problem with the installation of the last package for my "VirtualBox" session.

My kernel versions are:

vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.i686
vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.167.4.2.rc6.git2.fc12.i686
vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.174.4.2.rc7.git2.fc12.i686
vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.190.4.2.rc8.git2.fc12.i686

After installing Fedora 12 Alpha, on my Virtual PC 2007, I still got an inoperative mouse and keyboard.

I added the -

noreplace-paravirt xdriver=vesa i8042.noloop fbcon=map:9

to the kernel boot parameters of my grub.conf file.
