Fedora Core 7 Boot Problem

shahab.burki · 05-25-2009, 05:34 AM

Hi,
I have recently installed Fedora Core 7 on my system (2.4, 512MB RAM). During installation everything was fine. Then I turned off my PC. After some time when I switch-on my PC the booting processes starts and my monitor screen goes blank. When I reboot it and press I for interactive boot, then everything worked. But the automated boot doesn't works. So I have to press I every time now to successfully boot my system. is their any solution to this problem?

Support for F7 was dropped several years ago. Fedora 11 is either out or will be in a few days. Since you did not specify your hardware it may be possible that your chipset is newer than F7, which could be the source of the problem.

Hi,

If it was a reason, than why an older OS like Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike) is supporting my hardware?

Since you did not specify your hardware(as noted above) or mention that you had run other distros/version, there is no way we could know that. If you provide some information when you ask for help it makes it much easier to help you. Regardless, since very few people are or have run F7(or RH9) in a couple of years, you are going to find that there is an extremely limited pool of people who will be able to help you. Switching to a supported version at least gives you a larger pool of people to get help from.

hmmm!

My system has CPU of 2.5Ghz(32bit), RAM (512), a USB Mouse (some thinks that its the problomatic), and 80 GB Hard Drive. Now I have switched on to Fedora Core 8. When I Click the System Monitor in GNOME, my system's CPU is consumed 100% everytime. Though such heavy applications are running?

Again support for F8 was dropped over a year ago.

Post the results of top. That will show us what is using the cpu. Normally a USB mouse is not an issue. When you post your hardware information we need to know specifics(AMD3800+, etc) and usually the chipset is even more important (Nforce4, etc).
