View Full Version : OT - Fedore core 4 install problems

I've been having a lot of fun with Knoppix, and thought I'd try some distro's out, so I just went through the process of installing Fedora Core 4 to my 4GB slave drive. All seemed to go well, but when it came to reboot, the screen displays "LI" in the top corner and hangs until I reset.

I can get back into windows by changing the boot order back to the primary disk, but cannot for the life of me get Linux to boot. I thought I may have done something strange or wrong during the install, so I reformatted the disk and tried again, with the same result.

Has anyone else seen this?

Further to my first post, I booted Knoppix to have a look at the disk after the Fedora install.

The boot partition looks fine, and is recognised as a linux partition (ext3, /boot, 100 odd MB)

The rest of the disk is one large "unknown" partition, which can't be mounted or examined in any way...

Any clues, anyone?
