Fedora CD install


Hi

THis has been driving me crazy because I can find anywhere on the net that explains this clearly.

When I try and install FC5 I get to the part where it asks me to select what source I want to install it from. I choose CD-ROM and then it says it can't find FC on the CD-ROM.

The ISO has been burnt correctly and I've tried changing to disk 2 before I select CD-ROM (mentioned on another site)

Can any one help me?

Try typing "ide=nodma" at the "boot:" prompt then hitting enter. Issue often is it boots from the CD because the BIOS knows it doesn't use DMA but after the boot Linux does the subsequent reads and doesn't know it isn't DMA. Had to do this recently on installing FC4 on a Dell PE1300.
