Nero can do the job.
I haven't used Nero in awhile, so I am assuming they have the option to slow the burning speed.

I did a slow burn and no dice.... 4x

I did discover that my main board could be a problem, brand new shuttle AV49P/PN .

Didn't I see a supported hardware list somewhere? I lost track of it if so.

**budman7** · 06-15-2005

You said no dice, meaning you get the same error.

**latcarf** · 06-15-2005

sorry! yes, crc error. I did the slow burn with FC3 (FC4 sites are to busy right now!) Seeing that I didn't even waste the time trying to slow burn RH9 to try it again.

If it was hardware wouldn't RH9 have caught it when it probed? As I said before it seems to load okay, just boots to the Kernel panic: Attempting to kill init, when done.

**budman7** · 06-15-2005

What kind of hard drive is this?

You might be loading the wrong kernel.

**latcarf** · 06-15-2005

Drive: WD1200JB (Western Digital 120 GB IDE)
CPU: Celeron 2.7 cpu
RAM: 384 MB RAM
Video Card is a Radeon cam't remember what the numbers are.

Key board, mouse, monitor are KVM switch.

I'm off to Mich. in about 30 min. to get married so it will be a week or so before I can work with the machine.

Input is still appreciated mean while though!

thanks for responding!

You should be able to just hit ENTER with those specs.

I just installed FC4 yesterday.
I have
WD 120 GB IDE hard drive
! GB ram(that shouldn't matter)
P4 Celereon 2.8 Ghz
SiS 6326 video card(that shouldn't matter)

None of those differences should be giving you a kernel panic.

**budman7** · 06-15-2005

Maybe the video card does have something to do with it.

Also with the FC3 could that be somthing wiht my ATI card?

Almost definitely. I've had previous releases of Fedora Core tank with an ATI card before.

thanks for replying. I'm back from wedding/honeymoon so I can get back to figuring out what is wrong.

Anyone I ask face-to-face that has Linux experience seems to think it has to be a hardware issue. I remember seeing a site to check hardware but couldn't find it again so I will Google "linux hardware compatability" until I find it again after I get in the box and write down all that is in there. No OS at all now so I cant take the easy way to get all that info!

thanks again. meanwhile the Fedora Core 4 sites may be accessable now. They were to busy before!

**latcarf** · 06-29-2005

Okay, I finally got FC4 downloaded, burned, then loaded to the machine I have been attempting to load Linux on and it worked! holy cow I said, then what now I said! lol

Anyone know any good PDF documentation available for Fedora? Linux newbie oriented...

I did a google but nothing specific came up.

Thanks to all those that offered help. I am sure you will see me again.
