250 GB SATA-II HDD
( ICH8R - e1000 GB-eth
Intel X3000 Graphics OnBoard

16x DVD Writer Steps to Reproduce:Installer DVD boots and displays screen with Install
boot selection; I Tried following options1. Default Graphical options

Take a look at your BIOS Setup. Is there a way to change the type on how the sata drivers are handled? If so change it to ATA if possible.
Then try again to boot the install process. If it works you need a driver disk for your SATA Drives. If this is your error at all.
Othwerise see if you can catch some more useful infos regarding the boot process.
It also could be very simple. Your copy of the DVD is currupt.

Thanks for the pointers odcheck... but still no luck
Here is the outcome of the suggestions: -- BIOS offers SATA drives as IDE or (AHCI/ACHI [watever it means])
I tried both the settings but the result is same.
- About DVD Media being currupt:
- Sha1sum is same as specified for the images on the DL mirrors i.e. [0429be10e3df5a3ec118ca32802aa44cdf89c6c5]
- Booted the same DVD on a different machine of a bit older
configuration (Intel 865 mobo; P-4 3 Ghz, 160 GB HDD Sata-II);
It Boots fine; Did a media check, which retaurned OK.
- Also, It installed fine on this system.
I'm still confused, Is something wrong I'm doing or the Distro doesn't support my Mobo.
Anyways will try more... and see atleast come with bit more useful infomation..
Thanks in advance

My guess is that it is the ICH8R controller that's the problem.
The CD-ROM drive won't be supported properly as the ICH8R controller doesn't support IDE drives (like CD-ROM/DVD) and relies on a third party IDE controller.
Don't know what the answer is, as I have the same problem.

Error: Drivers Needed FC6 Newest Release
Good day;
I'm also stuck in the process of installing FC6, But my problem is slightly different. see below...
I also have the same configuration
Intel's DG965RY Motherboard
Dual Core 2 Processor E6600
250 Gb SATA HDD Western Digital WD2500JS SATA II
1 Gb Memory (PC5300 667mhz Corsair)
An LG DVD Burner. (can't remember the model No.)
and a Regular LG CD Writer (GCE-8527B)
I recently downloaded the DVD ISO, and checked MD5, no problems here.
The boot works fine, but I finish selecting Language and Keybord layout, the instllation ask me for some drivers, which I pressume are for the HDD.

Dual Core 2 is not 64 Bits... or so I was told....
Well, I was also downloaded the 64 bits version of FC5 and there were some problems with acpi that couldn't be resolved; then all the possible changes made to the bios were made and still no luck,
Later some linux guru came to the linux group I went for help, and I was told that Dual Core 2 is not a 64 Bits processor. As I was explained, the dual core only means that the processor has only two 32 bit layers, and those couldn't be added to have a single 64 procesor.
Therefore, I couldn't install the ISO I downloaded.
I hope this help, I know this is not where your problem resides, but it might help some other way.
Also please check either with md5 or sha1sum if your downloaded copy is ok.
Regards.

Very Right on the account that Core2Duo is not a 64Bit Processor... But I'm told that this Processor harbours EMT64 Technology... that makes it capable of 64Bit Processing.
Also, I Tried Installing Mandriva-2006-Summa Set (x86_64); I'm able to intall and run this one properly without any issues... provided with some setting for the IDE Drives...
Just wondering where we lagging in FC to do the same.
