[PLUG] Fedora 5 install problems
|
I'm having some problems trying to install K12LTSP, as well as just Fedora 5 onto my laptop, which currently runs SUSE 10.1 quite nicely.
When I put the Fedora 5 DVD or the K12LTSP first CD in and boot the machine, the opening graphic is garbled. Before the boot prompt is a line: "unknown keyword in config file."
At the "boot:" prompt, I press enter to start the graphical install, and get the following error message "could not find kernel image: linux". I have also tried every other option; for example, typing "linux text" gives the same error. None of the function keys work.
If I type vmlinuz, the boot process starts, but I get a series of error messages about the file system failing to mount, a bread that failed, and then a message about a kernel helper thread that just hangs the system.
It's a Sager P4 system, about three years old or so.
Thanks.
