Hi All,

I successfully installed FC5-i386 on a AMD64, but the system freezes when booting at "checking hardware.."

Thank you for you reply.

If you have a 64 bit processor, you want the version built for the x86_64 arcitechture. Dunno if this is for sure your problem, but it would be where I'd start.

I JUST had that problem, the solution is under the topic named "Complete system lock in Fedora Core 5"

Mind you, I haven't gotten/found my video drivers yet..

EDIT: just got em working: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon
