I have a Via CPU in my system, and the FC2 installer CD reboots as soon as it starts to load the kernel. I've read a few other reports on the fedora-list that its happening to all the Via CPUs, too.
Does anyone know a workaround? Are there any boot parameters to pass to the kernel to get it to load? Unfortunately, I'm think I'm SOL on FC2! Argh! Between this and the MBR/GRUB/parted bug, I'm getting really frustrated.
I found this bug in bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/....cgi?id=120685
It looks like it appeared in Test1, but didn't show up again until Final.
For the curious:
