We are trying to load FC3 x86_64 on a system with an ASUS K8V-X
motherboard, an athlon-64/3200 cpu, and 1GB of DDR 2700 mem.
We downloaded and burnt the .iso's to CD. The md5sum's checked out.
CD #1 refuses to boot. We downloaded it again, burnt it again, and same
thing: won't boot.
We tried to make a boot floppy to start the install, just like in the good
old days. Can't do that anymore. Not supported.
We booted a FC3 x386 CD 1 and pointed the install at the iso's (on a
second hard drive) with "boot: linux askmethod". It starts out OK.
We point it at the .iso's and it falls over with an error message
something along the lines of "boot system does not match install system
type". I forget the exact message. We tried the same thing with a FC1
x386 CD #1. No surprise, the same thing happened.
Meanwhile, we loaded FC1 x386.
Any thoughts on what to try next?
Can we manually apply the .rpm's from the iso images along the lines of:
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda4
# mkdir /mnt/another-partition
# mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/another-partition
# mkdir /mnt/another-partition/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/another-partition/boot
# chroot /mnt/another-partition /bin/bash
# mount -o loop FC3-x86_64-disc1.iso contents
# rpm -i contents/Fedora/RPMS/*.rpm
# umount contents
(Repeat the last 3 steps for CD 2,3 and 4)
Doctor up the grub file to point to the 2.6 kernel, the /dev/hda4
partition (0,3), and reboot?
If so, how can we determine the correct sequence to apply the rpm's? Do
we just let rpm figure it out? Can rpm handle it or will it chock on the
large number of packages to be installed?
