Hello,
I'm trying to install Fedora 8 x86_64 on my HP Compaq 8710p laptop.
The DVD boots fine, I tell the install to do a new install, come to
the blue screen that
loads some drivers and end up at the disk check requester. After the
check is done (or skipped),
/sbin/loader blows me away with a SIGSEGV error and shuts down the
system.
I have also tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 and OpenSUSE 10.3. They
install and works flawlessly.
However, I'm a Fedora guy ;-)
Any suggestions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some system facts:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz
4 GB RAM
ST9120823AS hard disc
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 320M graphics card
TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632M
Intel 82566MM Gigabit LAN
Intel WiFi Link 4965AG
Additional info
The Fedora 8 KDE LIVE CD/DVD seems to boot up just fine. Can't make a
clean (swedish) install with this though.
I had some nasty problems, quite similar to this, using the F8 x86_64
graphical installer on a few boxes with Nvidia cards. The text
installer worked fine though, and the problem went away when I made a
respin with revisor that used newer packages. Try the Fedora Unity
respin.

Hello Chris,
I have now tried the following with Fedora 8 Unity 20080204 respin:
Install with graphical UI.
Install with text UI.
Install with text UI using kernel modifiers (noprobe, headless, noapic,
acpi=off) one at the time.
Use boot.img from the DVD to do a text install over the network.
I'm getting a stack dump all the time.
The kernel seems to be alive though. Alt-F2,Alt-F3 and Alt-F4 still
works. I can't see any trace of
what went wrong in anacron.log or syslog.
Booting up in rescue mode from the DVD also works.
I wonder what's missing in Fedora that OpenSUSE and Ubunto has.
More things to try?
Digging deeper and deeper
/Anders
