satyahari · 04-21-2010, 11:45 PM

Hi one and all,

I am satya, here i am facing some problems while installing Fedora 12 in my system.

Pls find the problem i am facing ,

After complete installation, it will ask for the reboot.
When I reboot,i will get the message on the screen like this,

Intel(R) Boot Agent FE V4.1.17
Copyright(c) 1997-2004,Intel corporation

Intel(R) Boot Agent PXE Base code( pxe-2.1 buil;d 084)

copyright (c) 1997-2004,Intel corporation
pxe-E61: Media test failure,check cable

PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

Note:This problem i am not getting in Fedora 9
and also i am using windows XP os.

If suitable suggestions are given how to overcome this problem i will be greatful.

Thanks and Regards,
satya

Did you test the disk to see if it was burned correctly?

I am not sure why PXE Boot is involved; are you trying to boot from a local CD/DVD or are you trying to boot from across a network (and is what you intended happening)?

have you tried a normal boot from the hard drive?
A normal install should have put grub on the MBR

OK I've had a thought, but not sure how correct it is.
Fedora 12 now uses ext4 file system by default.
I'm not sure how your "intel boot agent" is getting into the act, but it's possible it's having problems with the ext4 file system, although that shouldn't affect the MBR.

I think you need to find out the why and what of the "intel boot agent", that's got nothing to do with fedora.
Is it part of your bios?
Grub should be the next thing you see after bios finishes.

I'd try a different linux live CD or DVD, that should be able to tell you what's happening.
