Re: FC 6 Problem
I don't see anything that can go wrong here. Do you have a graphics card? Does it throw an error of 'Frequency out of range' or such?
Do some other distros work?

Re: FC 6 Problem
Check if this helps http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/linux...13/046377.html
Press ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 to go to a virtual terminal. type lspci there. Is the output similar to one given there. If not, try the solution given in the last line.

Re: FC 6 Problem
the problem i read so far is that FC6 was released in a hurry while mandriva has done it perfectly. especially the device driver settings and the desktop effects and also the i586/i686 issue is totally void in mandriva. so some systems might have problems with the iso of FC6. though , i dint face this problem. try to some how get the updates of fedora and install it either after the actual installation or somehow infuse it with the old iso, if possible or get an updated iso. that should also fix u tons of problems which i solved one by one off late!

Re: FC 6 Problem
Which vertual terminal? Try ctrl + alt + F2 or F3 or even F4. I don't know about FC properly. I guess one should be free.

config is fine enough to run fc6. but dunno if u can enable compiz wid the default drivers on 845. some 845 user will be able to help u wid compiz. otherwise if fine enough.

Re: FC 6 Problem
pathiks, can you check which PATA controller you have? A person on ILUG-BOM says he had a problem with FC6 and his PATA controller - JMicron.
Here's the thread http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/...15/057449.html
His username on the forum is daj. In case you need to contact him, you can get his e-mail address from there.

Re: FC 6 Problem
Try this...
1)Boot from a live cd (Ubuntu 6.10, knoppix etc.)
2)Mount your Fedora Installation partition.
3)Open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (Fedora)
4)Now search for this section...
Quote:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Driver "i810"
....................
....................
EndSection
|
5)Change "i810" (different in your case) to "vesa"
6)Reboot

Re: FC 6 Problem
It seems like a problem with the hard drive. As infra_red_dude pointed out, I had missed it completely
Quote:
|
mount:cannot mount block device /dev/hd
|
So, one or more of the partition isn't mounting. Thus everything is stuck. Maybe it's the / partition.

Re: FC 6 Problem
@ pathiks , I tried installing FC6 using virtual Boot loader ie through CD ISO images . FC6 installed successfully , but when i booted into it for the first time , just a blank black screen appeared and nothing happened. Should I now try to reinstall with Burning those images into DVD using the tut of this forum. Or it will be a waste of time and I should not think about it ????

Re: FC 6 Problem
when I had that problem( around 1 month back) , I deleted my linux ( ie fc6) , I was not having edgy installed that time.
I cuurently just have XP SP2 ( which i use occassionally) and edgy.

Re: FC 6 Problem
Do you have some tools installed to read ext3 from windows? Otherwise windows won't recognise the drive surely.
