Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D8830 and Fedora Core 4...


Hi.

I have an Amilo D8830, 3,06 GHz laptop with 1GB Ram and ATI Mobility Radeon 9000.

It works perfectly with SuSe 9.2. However, I use Fedora Core 4 on all my stationary computers now, and must say I want FC4 on my laptop too.

But it just won't install. I have downloaded the ISOs for both CDs and DVD. I even tried burning with two different burners to be sure the error doesn't occur there.

This is the problem:

I boot up the CD (or DVD - both with same results): I get the menu, and try graphical install. I also tried "linux text", and "linux text acpi=off" and all other options I've found either on fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc4/ch-beginninginstallation.html or by pressing F2.


The installation stops before it even starts... I get a black screen, and it stays black...

So; Even on textbased install - with acpi=off it doesn't install...

Anyone know any tricks?

Thanks in advance.

TRA
