Isn't that illegal?

Your CD/DVD is not burnt correctly. Burn another one.

first i thought of that......

and reburned it....

same again...
no luck....

Maybe you should choose the basic video driver installation method.

Add "debug" to the kernel arguments. It will make startup more verbose and maybe tell us what's wrong.

Also try adding "vga=788"

Is the nouveau driver not working properly for you? Back before the nouveau driver began working with my onboard graphics card (Geforce 9100), I'd find that sometimes the proprietary nvidia driver would install, some time it wouldn't. By the way, I typically use Rawhide, so this problem occurred a lot. The problem was typically the kernel version, although some times it was the xorg version instead. I'd deal with the problem by always (well, almost always) keeping a kernel known to work with the nvidia driver, and also grabbing a set of working xorg- files from kojii so that I could reinstall when upgrading Xorg broke the display.

Add nomodeset arguments in the installation kernel command line.

thankyou all, problem is fixed...
