I've just experienced one of the most unnerving situations. I've
a custom built machine that WAS running the following:<br>
ECS GeForce 6100SM-M mother board<br>
AMD 64 X2 5600+<br>
4GB RAM DDR2 800 Mhz<br>
nVidia GT7300 PCIE 256MB video card<br>
2 - SATA Hard drives; 1 - 320 GB WD and 1 - 500GB
Seagate<br>
550 watt Antec power supply<br>
Fedora 9 x86_64 with all of the latest patches<br>
<br>
As my Xmas present I upgraded the machine to:<br>
Gigabyte MA790X-DS4 mother board<br>
AMD Phenom Quad core 9550<br>
8GB RAM DDR2 800 Mhz<br>
Retained the video card from above<br>
2 - SATA Hard drives; 1 - 500 GB Seagate and 1 -
1TB Seagate<br>
850 watt Antec power supply<br>
<br>
I attempted to install, from the same DVD used on the original machine,
Fedora 9 x86_64 with 4 failures at just about the same place while installing
packages. I used my i386 Fedora 9 DVD and all went well during the
install so attempted to do a upgrade to x86_64 without luck. I did
a test using my Fedora 8 x86_64 DVD and it installed perfectly. I
then attempted to do a upgrade to Fedora 9 without any luck (it appeared
to fail at about the same place). I then downloaded and burned another
copy of the Fedora 9 x86_64 DVD, checked it and attempted to do another
install and one again it failed at about the same place.<br>
<br>
What could possibly be happening? I since reinstalled Fedora 8, but
that has reached it's E-O-L. Should I just attempt to go to Fedora 10 x86_64?
Should I have entered something in the boot parameters concerning
the additional memory?<br>
<br>
Any help or advice would be great!<br>
