Fedora Core 4 DVD on a Gateway Solo 1450
See here for general help with the /sbin/loader problem with the FC4 DVD's and whatnot.
Here's what I said:
Like many others, was having quite the trouble instaling the FC4 DVD. My particular install was onto a laptop, the Gateway Solo 1450. Here's what I did, based on what a lot of the users here were saying:
In the BIOS, I removed the backwards compatibility for USB. I think this was the thing that finally did it.
When I received the boot prompt, I entered:
linux nofb noacpi nousb
The nofb had always helped with regards to the flashing of the screen, and the acpi for the power management and the usb was a boon -- after that, it installed perfectly, and boots fine. Video and sound were both detected great.
I'm gonna try grabbing that pre-made cross-compile environment for sh4 and see what I can't do with it :-)
