Re: Can not install Fedora 16 on Dell Latitude D620

[Pat Swayne <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a Dell notebook with a weird video card that even Windows didn't support! When it's windows crashed, and I tried to re-install it from the included CD, it wouldn't install (can't remember the symptoms). But fortunately, there was a Nvidia video card available for that model (got it off Ebay), and both Windows and Fedora would install with that card.

I have downloaded several flavours of Fedora 16 and burned DVD/CDs. When I try to boot from the CD/DVD on my Dell Latitude D620 I get the first caracter based message that it will start Fedora in xx seconds. Then the text dissapears and after a while two lines with some kind of bars pops up, and that is all.
 
If I put the same CD/DVD into another PC (a desktop) it boots up from the CD/DVD and all works as expected.
 
Is the Dell D620 laptop not supported for Fedora? I would appreciate any help.

Ole
