I am trying to do an install of Fedora on a new Hard Drive. I currently run RH 8 and just want to see if it is worth upgrading to (especially since RH 8 is getting old and the support is ending). The Fedora install hangs at the APM section (before the install even begins) with the following error:
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0X03 (Driver version 1.16
I did a google and found out that the Advanced Power Management function of my BIOS was conflicting with Fedora. Possible solutions were to turn of APM in the BIOS or to upgrade the BIOS (and possibly still turn off APM). I changed APM in the BIOS to "No" and the install still hung. I flashed the BIOS to the most current version and the install failed again with the same problem.
Has anyone run into this problem when installing Fedora? RH 8 runs fine and I can always keep, but the problem is bothering me. Any ideas?
