Can't install fedora

[goude]

Hello, I have just install fedora core 6, well I have reinstall it many times but the problem does not get away.

The installation was successful but when I rebooted the machine I got the following error:

PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 5 of device 0000:00:12.0
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x1
Red hat nash version 5.1.19 starting

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Then the machine is just sitting there.
There is so much failure in this installation

Any suggestions please?

Thank you very much!!!

Ok, the topic is just here for a hour.
Give us time to read it..
Just bump it after a day or two.

Well, try installing it without LVM.

[goude]

Sorry Robin,

I was just getting frustrated with my machine, thats all.

[RobinVossen]

heh, well its fine
But does it work without LVM?
Since I also had that once. Also are you sure you use the right arch?

[devils casper]

Did you use any special parameter while installing Fedora?

[goude]

No casper

I actually followed your installation guide. But to run the installation initially I had to type:

linux all-generic-ide pci=nommconf

If I don't type that and then press enter to start the installation it says loading ahci driver........ and it stays there forever.

[goude]

I am reinstalling fedora now Robin, without LVM.

I will let you know how it goes!!!

What do you mean arch? What is that?

[devils casper]

Highlight Fedora title in GRUB Menu and press 'e'. Select kernel line and press 'e' again. Type pci=nommconf at the end of line and hit enter key. Press 'b'. Check if Fedora boots up. in case it doesn't work, add all-ide-generic too.

Hey capser,

I followed what you said.

After pressing "e" the following line came up:

>LogVo100 pci=nommconf rhgb quiet

I typed at the end of that line pci=nommconf, then pressed "b" but fedora didn't boot up.
>LogVo100 pci=nommconf rhgb quiet pci=nommconf

I then added the line all-ide-generic, pressed "b" but didn't boot up, as well.
>LogVo100 pci=nommconf rhgb quiet pci=nommconf all-ide-generic
Would it make a difference if I type all-generic-ide instead?
