Hi,
It is Lenovo N500. Fedora 18 x86_64 was previously installed on it
with no problem.
It does not reach the bootloader installation, which is at the end.
This laptop model does not have UEFI support. Is there some kernel
parameter for installation which tells it not to try UEFI stuff when
installing ?
It SHOULD install fine if it fines no UEFI suport. You may have to file
a bug report. :(
Is it creating a /boot/efi partition? Given no UEFI, I think it shouldn't.

What model do you have? See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006304
If it dies at the bootloader installation, it is probably the same NVRAM
problem I am fighting with. I did get i386 installed. I am looking at
turning off UEFI support to get x86_64 installed.
(reboot in the middle of installation settings stage);
I remember that in the past, with previous Fedora versions, when I had
a crash in installation (not on this laptop) I had set these kernel
parameters of the Linux text based installation:
nousb noapic noacpi
and it avoided the crash and the installation succeeded.
I did not try this yet with the laptop, but beforehand my question is:
apart from these kernel parameters, is there another parameter which
you suggest to add to provide better chances of success in
installation ?

DavidS
