Help! I am stumped!

I have just got a new Fujitsu Siemens Amilo-D 3.06Ghz notebook with HyperThreading and RH9 won't install. I have tried all of the usual options, i.e. remove PCMCIA cards and try all of the boot options (i.e. nousb, noprobe, nopcmcia, etc) but it just doesn't get past mini-root startup and get into Anaconda. That isn't strictly true since on one occasion - without me changing anything - it did start Anaconda but hung selecting the mouse.

Help! Any ideas?

It must be possible since someone on the What Laptop forums has been saying how good it is!

Have tried combining more than one exempt like ' linux noprobe nofirewire nopcmcia '.

Have fun

" When in doubt, RTFM "

Yup, tried that. However, I didn't try nofirewire so I will try that!

Well, I now have it installed. Someone who said it was easy offerred no help but did say his BIOS version, which was later than mine. Like many "do nothing " pieces of code this BIOS update fixed all the Windows XP bugs I had and allowed RH9 to go on immediately and it now flies with the SMP Kernel - on a notebook!

So try the Amilo-D for RH9 but get BIOS 1.05C - ignore that it "doesn't fix anything but the startup screen"....
