FC4 Installation Freeze in P4 - SATA


Hello everyone.

I recently received some new computers in one of my labs. More specifically, P4 64-bit HT, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB SATA hard disk and GeForce 4 MX.
The problem is, when trying to install FC4, it freezes right when it shows the text-part of the installation. No keyborad, no mouse.
Does anyone had this problem before? What should I check/have just in case?

Best regards,
Sherman

Maybe you have to insert the driver module ata_piix while you're at the 1st install Line. Like "linux dd" and then you have to insert a floppy with the needed module for the SATA Drives.

Hah, silly me.
I was trying to install Fedora Core 4 32-bit version. Got the 64-bit version and everything is OK now.
