Live XFCE spin freezes at the Fedora f (F11)

[Globe Trotter]

Hi,

Just trying out the F11 XFCE spin on a IBM Thinkpad T61: what I get is a beautiful blue screen with a f in the middle. The cd cranks and does nothing. Checksum reported ok so I am presuming it is fine.

sha1sum Fedora-11-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso > /tmp/sh1.sum
sha1sum -c /tmp/sh1.sum 
Fedora-11-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso: OK


Any suggestions?

Many thanks and best wishes,
T
