Installing Fedora 14, Installation Problem

Hello Linuxquestions, I am pretty new to Linux OS's, but I have gone through the process of installing linux onto several of my system already.

The problem I am having is when I attempt to install Fedora 14 onto my Unbuntu 10.10 (erasing Unbuntu to be specific) I am stuck at the Post-Installation process.
I am using a CD-RW to install Fedora onto my Ubuntu, and I installed Ubuntu onto the computer originally with another CD-R.

I assume this usually takes a few minutes, as the pop-up says that it may take several, but it has been several hours with no progress. I was pretty far into the installation when the pop up appeared, and it said

"Post-Installation: Performing post-installation filesystem changes. This may take several minutes.". As I said, it has been several hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you trying to set up a dual boot system with Ubuntu or did you wipe the hard drive and install clean?

same with mine.. i installed VL 6.0 on a previously installed VL5.1 partition in my HD.. install successful but upon boot up.. it stopped in :

VFS: Mounting /dev/hdc12 read only.. etc..
"Freeing unused kernel memory..212k freed"

Code:

Tendow,



if you are creating a dual boot system with Ubuntu and Fedora, its better to install Fedora first and Ubuntu second as Ubuntu has a better partition manager. For more help follow this link.http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...l-boot-system/
