Help me on EM64T!!

StealthGhost · #1 13th September 2005, 01:09 PM

Hi there! I've downloaded the fedora on the net and burn the ISOs.

My problem is, whenever I put the disc on the drive for installation, it can enter the menu, on how to install fedora. But, when I press enter, the default, it will have an error after "autorun..done".. I'm really confused about this.

Would the hardware matter? I have an EM64T, not an AMD64.. Would that matter? Because, I have an AMD64 and it can install fedora 4 on that computer using my burned disc.

HARDWARE INFO:

ASUS P5P800
Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz
4GB Memory
2pcs 120GB Seagate SATA Hard Disk
Asus MX4000 128MB Video Card
Sony DVD/CDRW

Please help me.. thanks..!!

hi there!! here's the error message I see whenever I put my boot disk for FC4 x86_64..
I can install the same cd on other computers which are AMD64 processors..

RAMDISK: couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0
VFS: cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown block (3,2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Hallo

It looks like the Kernel can't find any filesystem at the RAM. Starge!
"kernel panic" is one of the worst ERROR in LINUX.

Sure, it hleps you not a lot to read thys.
The only thing I can tell you: It should run an a Intel EM64T as well as an AMD64.

Did a other operating system run an thys mashine well? If yes, which OS?
Have you erver trayed with a 32Bit FC4 -CD? Just to see wath is happen.

Yeah! I tried installing a 32-bit version of it but it didn't work as well. I was able to install the 32-bit version on other computer but when it comes to my computer, ERROR!

I'm currently running Fedora 3 Core x86_64 at the same computer without any other OS.
I want to upgrade my Fedora 3 to FC 4.

Does this mean that my motherboard isn't supported by FC 4?
