    Installation on a Probook 4510s

    I have several 4510s laptops that I am trying to install Fedora 13 on. On all of them, when I boot with either the LiveCD or USB(using isohybrid), the bios bootscreen freezes. If I try going into the configuration and then inserting the disk/usb, it also causes a freeze. When I remove the disk, it unfreezes and boots normally. This is reproducible on all of the laptops, and updating the bios didn't make a difference. Booting other distros such as OpenSUSE show the same symptoms. Ubuntu uses a different method to boot their LiveCDs, and that method works fine. No freezes on bootup.

    Has anyone encountered an error like this, and have they found a solution? Failing that, is there any documentation on installing Fedora from an existing linux environment? OpenSUSE documentation would also be fine.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.
