Installation BLACK SCREEN <<<<SOLVED>>>>

In the BOOT Menu, Press TAB while highlighting "BOOT" Option

Just add "nomodeset" to the end of the text..This disables Kernel Mode Setting and this really got my F12 running.

I m posting this from F12.

Well
I did it
but after boot i just have some line of text on the screen .
many lines are like this : Zone kernel : Used memory at exit 0 Kib

Huh . . . notice that that post has a Windows icon attached but whatever.

So you added nomodeset as a kernel parameter to disable kernel mode settings ?
How does that line read now ?

quoting from parts of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs

"If this does not resolve your issue, one other potential workaround is to change to a different acceleration method."

more in full from that page with similar sections for AMD (Sections 6.2 and 6.3) . . .

"The driver for Intel graphics adapters (and the supporting code in Mesa/DRI and the kernel), and that these
have caused some functionality regressions. If you are suffering from problems with an Intel graphics adapter
such as failure of X to start at all, hangs or freezes or crashes in the graphical environment, display corruption,
failure of 3D accelerated applications to work properly or similar problems, and your issue is not specifically covered
elsewhere on this page, the following general advice may be of use.
Some issues may be worked around by disabling kernel mode setting. To do this, add

nomodeset

as a kernel parameter.

If this does not resolve your issue, one other potential workaround is to change to a different acceleration method. . . ."

I know it is a F11 page . . .
but I am trying something like this in F11 64 bit on a Sharp laptop -

Maybe this is a good lead to follow for you as well, or not . . . Good luck.

P.S. and I just noticed . . .
Section 6.4 you may like even better . . .

If you experience failure to start the graphical desktop (X server), or hanging or crashing of the graphical desktop,
and you have an NVIDIA-based AGP graphics card, you may want to try the following workaround.
Add the kernel parameter nouveau.noagp=1. For many reporters, this resolves the problem.
