hi
when installing fedora x, one one machine i have to boot the
installation with
linux nousb
otherwise it froze alxo.
it may not be nousb at your place but something similar. try an check to
see which of the kernel options you have to specify.
good luck

first I downloaded the Fedora Core 9 64 DVD iso, took many hours,
but on attempting to install, it freezes up at the test media screen.
I then downloaded all the FC9 64 CD isos, tried the first one and
it freezes up at the test media screen.
I tried submitting a report on the University of Kent form, but that
failed!
I then tried the FC9 64 net install CD and it freezes up on the
choose language screen.
The PC is an AMD Sempron 64 tower, from probably 2006. I thought
maybe there are bugs in the early AMD64 CPUs.
so I tried the FC9 32 net install iso, freezes up on the "Choose a language"
screen. That suggests it isnt a 64 bit bug.
I tried Ubuntu 64, 8.04.1 that freezes up once the desktop appears.
when I say freeze up I mean no response to keyboard (or mouse for Ubuntu).
I installed FC3 some years ago without problem, and I use FC3 and Windows XP
all the time without problem.
I decided to look at FC8 instead, unfortunately there dont appear to be
CD's, I dont want to spend 5 hours downloading the DVD and find the same
freeze up problem.
