Problem installing Fedora Core 5 on HP Pavillion xz275
I was able to install SuSE 10.1 and FC3 on this machine, and I've used the same FC5 discs (2 sets) to install FC5 on two other machines.
Is there some work-around for this quirk?

Re: Problem installing Fedora Core 5 on HP Pavillion xz275
I'm running memtest again. (I can type "memtest" at the prompt and it will load and run.) I haven't seen any errors after 20+ minutes.
If I can find my adapter, I guess I could put the laptop drive in a desktop, install the OS, and put the drive back in the laptop. I've done it before on a Centex laptop.

The only other time I had this with my Pavillion, a BIOS update sorted it out.

Re: Problem installing Fedora Core 5 on HP Pavillion xz275
I seem to have found an answer on the Fedora site. Several other people are having the same problem with several other brands of laptops.
Two people mentioned a work-around of typing "vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img" at the boot prompt, and that seems to be working for me.
I'd tried something to that effect myself, but either got the syntax wrong or it was full of typos. Probably the latter.
Even knowing what to type, it took me four tries to get it right. :(
