Hi Guys

I have installed Fedora on my PC with no problems but when I try and install it on my laptop it hangs at the very first screen that says "Would you like to test the media...OK or Skip" I cant do anything except power down at this point.

Any ideas

Cheers

It will be nice to know what kind of hardware you are trying to install Fedora on.
options you have is when the first cd is loading is

Code:

 linux text

which is a pita or you could try

Code:

linux ide=nodma

Had exactly the same problem. My drives support DMA.

The only thing worked wat the text install. It's not that bad to instlal with the text install...
