Are you using 64bit install media?

actually i got the fedora 8 version dvd with linux for you magazine before few months.


but i was not able to install in amd machine ..

could you suggest on regarding how to check the 64 bit edition of the fedora

Ask the folks at Linux For You. Its their compilation.

If they've simply copied off the official DVD release from here: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora then you should be able to match up the sha1sum for your DVD with the official one. You can grab that from any of the mirror sites.

Naturally, you can also download a fresh copy from there for free, or the latest updates versions from here: http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/ Keep in mind that the release is several months old and many updates have occurred since it was released. If you have decent download speeds, you may be better off simply using a Live CD to install and then adding those packages you want later on. It might cut down on the amount of updates you're faced with.

The 32bit/64bit question really doesn't apply since 32bit can be installed on 64bit machines, which you have.

Try updating your motherboard bios

Ugh. Flashing the BIOS should be an absolute last resort because of how it can kill your board if something goes wrong. Try the LiveCDs or a respin first.

But a BIOS error makes it seem to me that the problem here isn't on Fedora's end...
