Also, I've only installed/tested F20 in 64 bit. Same for me on all counts. > When I select Install the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then goes white for about 10 seconds and then black with scrolling messages. That is what I see when I create a VM in virt-manager instead of VirtualBox, but under VB, the screen goes black and never recovers. > You have verified the checksums of the downloaded ISO's? Yes, and the same ISO works fine under virt-manager. I actually got an install completed. So I'm going to concentrate now on moving away from VB altogether, which will require converting a couple of Windows VMs to run under KVM instead of VB. I only used VB in the first place because KVM really wasn't ready for prime time when Red Hat first started supplying it. Performance was horrible. Now it's much better as a lot of work has been done on it since then. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
