while installing anaconda doesn't start

[eekie]

I replaced my old motherboar an Asrock ALiveNF5 esata2+ for a MSI K9N2 sli platinum and therefor had to reinstall Fedora 9 64 bits.
To my dismay normal installation is not possible because Anaconda won't start. The screen remains black infinitly despite the fact my monitor gets signal.
I have redownloaded the DVD and burned another install DVD, but that does not help.
Installing in text mode brings me somewhat further ahead. But here it won't let me create and format new partitions. Besides it is quite a nuisance to scroll through.
What is wrong?

Anything in the other termianls, CTRL/ALT/F2,3,4,5,6 etc?

Hell Glenn,
I don't get you.
My machine does not respond to any keystroke except cntrl-alt-del

[glennzo]

When the system boots to a certain point there are 7 virtual terminals available using the key combinations CTRL/ALT/F1 through CTRL/ATL/F7, the last one being where the GUI resides. Sometimes you can switch to these virtual terminals and see some error output or some info that may give you a clue as to what's hanging up. I've done just that on occasion when I've had a system that I was having trouble installing Fedora on.

Edit: I think your problem may be way before the terminals are available though.

I think so too. as there is no respons to the ctrl-alt F1 etc.
But what is going on? In text mode it sometimes works but most of the time hangs after having language and keyboard lay-out.
