Hi:
Have you tried using acpi=force and/or noapic as kernel boot parameters?

Unable to Install Fedora 15 on Dell Inspiron 17R2
 

Hi,
Thank you for prompt reply
_________________________________________________
I could not install Fedora Linux at all.
Can I give kernel parameters before even installing?
How can I do that?
I had only some 3-4 Graphical options:
1.Install System 2.Upgrade existing system 3.Memtest
I selected 1st option and it remained forver saying:
waiting for hardware initialization.

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Carlos,
Thank you for kind help.

My Laptop has 2GB dedicated nvidia Geforce card + intel grafix card

*8GB RAM i7 2630QM.

1)How can I install when Live CD is running?I think have to reboot** after replacing Live CD by Install DVD.


2)I wonder why same issue is occuring with Ubuntu 11.10

I will try Fedora 16 Today.


Rajesh, hi:Once the Live is running there's a shortcut to "Install to disk" or something like this. It's no necessary to boot with the DVD again.

If you're using the nvidia card, for sure, you're going to need the*proprietary*driver to get Gnome3 working.Personally I think it's a good idea to skip Fedora 15 and going directly to Fedora 16.


Regards



Thanks & regards,
Rajesh

Rajesh, hi:
The graphic issue could be related to the video driver not properly
loaded, there were some issues with Intel GMA cards and Fedora 15.


Have you tried to install once the Live is
started?
Have you tried Fedora 16 DVD?
