Dear All,

I am trying to install Fedora 11 from installation disk. I am having problems in doing so. Before I open my problems faced, to you, I want to state that I have tried F11, F10, F8 and F15....
All but F15 is getting stuck at the same place. I actually want to work with F11 and not F15, so this problem of mine needs to be solved by anyone of u. Here goes my problem:

I inserted the installation disk and booted.
The first screen appeared. I chose the first option:
Install or Upgrade Existing............

Then I am asked for Choosing A Language
I opted for English and pressed Enter key

Then I am asked to select keyboard type
I opted for US and pressed Enter

Then I was asked for Choice of installation media:
I opted local cd\dvd and pressed Enter

The next screen which appeared is:

Select A Driver To Load:
It says, no installation driver detected. choose manually, or press F2 if u have the driver disk.

Below this message I have three buttons:
Select Driver_____Use A Driver Disk______Back

When I clicked "Use a driver disk" no changes take place and I got back the same message.
When I clicked "Select Driver", I got many options to select. I tried most of them but nothing worked and I was redirected to the screen displaying the previous message along with previous options:
"no installation driver detected. choose manually, or press F2 if u have the driver disk."

Will you please help me out regarding this.


Thanx and regards,
Debashis

Not much information to go on, but when you try installing, when you get to that error, hit ctrl-alt-F3 and see what errors (if any) are shown there.

Just right off the top of my head, I have seen that type of error when the hard drives were set up wrong in the BIOS. For example, SATA drives set up as IDE mode instead of AHCI mode. Or possibly you have a add-in SATA card that anaconda doesn't support.
