    Hello,

    I am currently trying to install Fedora Core 2 on a shuttle Zen ST62k
    mini PC.
    I have successfullly installed fedora core 2 on various other models of
    the shuttle
    but am having some troubles with this one.

    I am also having trouble finding out exactly what is going wrong with
    the install.

    It seems to get as far as installing the software and then either ends
    with "Installation aborted abnormally"
    or sometimes it has a kernel crash.

    The last messages I see on the ALT-F3 screen are:

    Trying to mount hda1 on /
    isys.py mount()going to mount /tmp/hda1 on /mnt/sysimage.
    etc
    no pcic controller detect
    needed e2fsprogs for /
    needed e2fsprogs for /boot
    etc
    moving (1) to step install packages
    setting file_context_path to nil

    Sorry this is my transcription on a piece of paper so I didn't write
    down all the messages.
    Is there anythig wrong in the above messages?

    I can see the access light flashing on the HDD so I know it is copying
    software to the HDD.
    It then fails with the installation aborted abnormally message or
    something similar
    which doesn't leave me alot to go on.

    Sometimes, it does kernel crash - is there anyway I can actually read
    this message of captur it?
    It scroll off the screeen so fast.

    The specs for the SHuttle zen are below. It seems to detect all the
    hardware just fine when booting off the fedora CD's
    Is there any other info I can grab to help debug this problem?

    Many Thanks,

    Melinda
