I've tried installing both F16 and F17beta, and get the following errors on a brand new Dell laptop. I'd like to dual boot with the existing Windows 7 that came preinstalled on that laptop, but if dual booting doesn't work I'd install Fedora over the whole laptop.
But the installation fails almost immediately after selecting "Install or upgrade Fedora"...a few seconds pass, and the following error appears in a 'mini screen' in the top left of my monitor (i.e. these messages aren't taking up the whole screen):
Code:
ERROR: could not insert 'floppy': No such device
FATAL: Module dm-mod not found.
FATAL: Module dm-zero not found.
FATAL: Module dm-mirror not found.
FATAL: Module dm-snapshot not found.
FATAL: Module cbc not found.

[ 22.954967] [drm:intel_dsm_platform_mux_info] *ERROR* MUX INFO call failed
The above is from F17beta, and the errors were somewhat different in F16 installation, but showed up at the same time and in the same way, and contained the same "MUX INFO call failed" and a few other similarities. I can include the exact error message from F16 if needed, but I'm not sure it's necessary.
I installed from the DVD ISOs that I burned, and checked the signatures in order to make sure the downloads were valid. I also burned the DVDs from 2 different computers to make sure it wasn't some error in burning them. I really don't know what's going on, hopefully someone can help me fix this because I really would like to switch to Fedora.
Thanks.
