am using Fujitsu Siemens Intel Pentium processor 1.60GHz , 512 MB Ram , Centrino ..
i have a dual system Windows Xp Home Edition und FC3 ...I have downloaded all the 4 FC4 iso's. all of them passed the test,ok.and then i tried to install FC4 with the normal way..booting up from cd ..
the first strange thing , is the white screen instead of the FC4 screen..

.....i tried to install FC4 with the same CDs on my PC and everything went good... i also tried to reinstall FC3 on my Laptop just to see if theres a going to be the same problem but everything went also well...

does anyone have any ideas about that????

thanks

Hi,

Type " linux media check " at the boot promt and then skip the media check as soon as you can,this wil solve your problem
