FC4 Install Problem

[Grant Evans]

Thanks for the reply - No joy!

The actual screen display is a repeated sequence as follows:

Disabling IRQ5
hdb: lost interrupt
irq5: nobody cared!
========================================
[<c.........>] _report_bad_irq+0x......
[<c.........>] note_interrupt+0x......
[<c.........>] _do_IRQ+Ox......
[<c.........>] do_IRQ+0x......
========================================
[<c.........>] commoninterrupt+0x......
[<c.........>] ide_time_expiry+0x......
[<c.........>] run_timer_softirq+0x.....
[<c.........>] _do_IRQ+Ox......
[<c.........>] do_IRQ+0x......
========================================
[<c.........>] do_IRQ+0x......
[<c.........>] commoninterrupt+0x......
[<c.........>] mwait_ide+0x......
[<c.........>] cpu_idle+0x......
[<c.........>] start_kernel+0x......

etc.  etc.   etc.

What error do you get? Can you see an error?

Never the less, I'm sure if it'll help.
There's a know problem with ISO install that may cause the machine to
hang.
When the first prompt appears, type something like "blah". It'll return
an error.
Now, just press enter (to proceed with the installation) and see if it
helps.
