I have a problem with installing FC6 on an old computer (128MB RAM, 500MHz Intel P3)
The upper (package) progress bar goes until 100%, but then the installer doesnt continue with the next package.
switching to other consoles works, after more than 30 minutes the cpu is still 99,4% used by anaconda.
The last info log message is "switching to cd 1 [...] for package epiphany"
The last kernel log messages are three times
"Intel machine check architecture supported.
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0."
I tried it with boot params "linux noprobe text acpi=off noapic", but the same error occured.
The media check says that the disk passed the check, it is OK.
Because it still didn't work, I installed debian.
I can't understand how it can be impossible a debian user with 1,5 years of experience as I am to install a distribution which is ment to be userfriendly (as opposite to debian)
I liked redhat earlier, but I definitely don't understand what's going on with fedora here.
