Fedora 4 freezes on Keyboard language selection

[mbach_007 0]

I am having problems installing Fedora Core 4 on my PC. For some reason it freezes on the Keyboard language selection every time. So far, I tried installing it using the linux i8042.nomux command and it failed. Can anybody help?

Did u burn the disk correctly? Did you run the linux mediacheck test ?

Try acpi=off and you should be all set.

 

The complete steps are:

- when you have the grub menu, select the kernel you would like the sytem to boot (usually the first one) without pressing enter

- hit the key e (e like "edit)

- select the second like (which starts by vmlinuz ... and key in at the end acpi=off

- select the first row and hit the key b (b like boot)

 

you should be all set

 

Once you have booted, you can edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add acpi=off --> like this you won't have to punch it in every time

 

I hope this works

 

Good luck
