Fedora Installation :: Probing EDD On F10 Start-up?
Feb 10, 2009
I have just installed F10 via DVD download onto my Dell Desktop with Nvidia GE6800 graphics card and twin LCD Monitors. I have configured Dual Boot with Grub (Windows XP Home and F10). After installing and configuring the correct driver from Nvidia I am now observing a strange problem when booting into Fedora.
On cold boot the system starts and gets to Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... and then freezes, however if I then warm boot Ctrl Alt Del the system boots into F10 with no problem. I had to disable the latest Kernel update because I couldn't start graphical interface with it so I only boot into the original Kernel.

I am trying to find out what's my soundcard model as my sound is not working very well.I am using YasT2 - > Hardware Information to find out what is the problem. The probing hardware process starts but gets stuck at the probing monitor phase (49%). I have tried to rerun the process after rebooting the pc. I have let the process to run for a few hours but still it was stuck at the 49%What should I try to do to skip this obstacle and get information about my sound hardware.

I have a Toshiba a105-s2236 laptop and am trying to install Fedora 14. Is there any way to tell Fedora not to look for the pcmcia slots on boot? My live CD is freezing at the point where it tries to probe the pcmcia socket IO port.
I tried adding the 3 to get to a console, but that fails as well. I had to add acpi=off to the kernel boot args to even get it to go this far.
Even using the nopcmcia option, it still tries to probe the socket's IO port.

The Fedora 12 (64 bit) install freezes right after the "probing EDD (edd=off) .... ok" comes up. I have to do a hard reboot to get the system back. I am currently running Fedora 8 (64bit) and everything works fine. The Fedora 11 (64 bit) install runs. (I don't really want Fedora 11, so I didn't complete the install).
The Fedora 12 (32 bit) install runs. (I don't really want 32bit Fedora, so ...). The Fedora 12 (64 bit) install only runs if I add mem=xxx. (I would like to be on this version)
I'll be doing the full install soon, but what should I look for once I have it installed to figure out what the issue is? Why do I now have to pass the memory size when 8 and 11 seems to be able to figure that out? I have a dell optiplex 740 with 4Gb of ram. AMD Athlon x2 64bit processor.

I'm new to openSUSE, this is the first time i try to install openSUSE version 11.4. on my IBM Thinkpad T43 (on which SUSE Linux version 8.0 has been running before without problems). I have downloaded the ISO images and successfully burned the ISO images on a blank DVD. Having placed my openSUSE DVD in the drive and rebooted my laptop I can see the boot screen.
I then select installation with arrow up/down and press enter. Choosing language and keyboard layout works fine, as well as accepting the license agreement. However, when it comes to 'System Probing' the installation stops at 'Search for system files'. The cursor shows a little turning disk but the rest of the screen is blocked.

Code:
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) .... then the boot hang up for a few minutes with a flashing cursor immediately after the message and finally it booted the default OpenSuse 11.1 in the usual way. I tried to search LQ, Wikipedia, Google... but even if the message has been reported by many people, nobody gave the answer to the question running in my mind:
Code:
What is EDD? Should I start to think about the funeral for my beloved notebook? Should I consider to do an additional backup copy of the backup of my disk, just for sure?

I am testing PCLinux 2009.1 prior to installing. My desktop currently runs on ME and has been out of use for some time. It still works however and I can still get online. I'm currently using a laptop running XP. I would like to make use of my old desktop and tried to test PCLinux 2009.1 today. I followed the instructions obtained online and booted from the Linux cd. The pc booted up ok and displayed the first screen allowing me to select the "Live CD" option. After enter my system hung up at "Probing SCSI Devices:Segmentation fault".

im building a storage pod following the backblaze build url. This build requires two power sources. One powers the boot drive, the mother board and 20 of the hard drives while the other powers the remaining 25 drives. When I power up the 25 drives first and the boot drive etc 2nd I recieve the message "Probing edd=off to disable" the system then freezes there. If I power up the boot drive etc then the 25 drives then it boots up normally with no problems. When ever I restart I recieve the same message since the 25 drives are already running when it boots.
I dont want to add edd=off to the boot command since i cannot have some drives not being detected all the time in my raid configurations. I have tried updating the bios and that didnt help. I have also installed a different os and receive the same message.
I am running Linux version 2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-21lenny4)Motherboard: Intel BOXDG43NB LGA 775 G43 ATX Motherboard
All of my specs are the same as the ones listed in the Backblaze build.

I'm attempting to install F11 on my desktop. I am unable to complete the installation because the X environment for anaconda fails to start and instead the installation reverts to text mode (in which I cannot seem to to a custom disk partitioning layout for the installation, which I have to be able to do). This was not a problem with the Alpha or Beta, but the preview and now the final release have both had this problem.
My system:
intel 3.16 core 2 duo
4gb ddr2 ram
dual nvidia 9800gtx+

Some quick background info: I am not a Linux expert, but I'm not sure I can still qualify as a "newbie", since my first Linux install was RH9 in 2003. I later upgraded to FC3 and continued to use it until my hard drive crashed around a year ago. I suffered on an old WinXP machine until I was able to buy a new system from someone on Craig's list. Although the guy didn't realize it (hence neither did I), it has a 64-bit processor, so when I installed Fedora 10, I installed the x86_64 version.I chose F10 since I use the Planet CCRMA pro audio packages, and they lag slightly behind the latest and greatest distro versions. I'm also not a bleeding-edge kinda guy, since - as I said above - I am not an expert.
So, then, here's what's happened: I installed F10 by downloading the 64-bit DVD image from the Fedora Unity respin site. As I had hoped, after the installation when I asked yum if I was due for an upgrade it said I was up to date.That was fine for a few weeks, but then this past Sunday I got a pop-up message saying that I was due for a system upgrade. I was hesitant, as I usually am before making any drastic changes, but I figured this is Fedora, they want to do the upgrade, this has got to be pretty safe. Not so much.I fired off the upgrade before heading to bed and let it run overnight (it actually took only an hour or two, but I started it late). In the morning I found my system with a blank screen and essentially unresponsive. I can move a block cursor around the screen, and if I type anything it is echoed on the screen, but there is no response; I don't believe I am in a shell of any kind.
Hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL reboots the system, and it gets past the grub menu and the Fedora start-up progress bar (the dark blue/light blue/white text blocks with "Fedora 10" at the right). After the progress bar finishes, though, the screen goes blank (maybe X is starting up?) but never gets anywhere. That's when I can type stuff on the screen, but nothing provokes any kind of response (except for CTRL-ALT-DEL).I'm mildly curious to know if the recommendation about upgrades vs. fresh installs, as given in the sticky post on this forum, still applies, or if it is now considered safer to let the system upgrade itself when it feels ready.
What I really need to know, however, is where I should start in order to get my system back. Should I go to the command line from the grub menu? Boot from my install disc in rescue mode? I'm not even sure what I should look for once I've done either of these, so I'm kind of floundering ...This PC has a dual-core Pentium 4 running at 2.9 GHz, and apparently it's a 64-bit processor. The video card is by NVidia, but I don't know the exact card off-hand. There's a built-in Intel sound card of some kind and I added an M Audio Delta 1010LT multi-channel card.

I can connect to localhost, and get the test page.However, as soon as I install the apache PHP module, with:[root] # yum install php apache will not restart.Watching active processes with qps, I see apache tries to start, but then it crashes - hence it writes to the error log to say it's started. But there's no PID in /var/run/httpd, and I cannot connect to localhost.

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo board with Intel GS45 + Intel ICH9M chipset. After installed from DVD (i386), it will ask reboot, and I clicked reboot button, the system reboots, but it will freeze somewhere from 3-threaded progress bar to the desktop show up. It freeze most likely in the "F"-icon flash or the dots showing up.

I have been using Fedora 12/13 for last 6 months or so but still I never tried my hands with the customization of its desktop and its kernel which is the beauty of Linux so I want some links or guidelines about how to start doing something meaningful with Fedora.

I just installed fedora on an old laptop. After restarting, the computer just shows me a black screen, it doesn't even show the BIOS screen. If I put a CD with the fedora installation program, it sounds like its reading it, but the screen keeps being black.
Just as background, i thought this laptop had died 4 months ago when I tried to start it and then nothing happened (black screen). Today, I decided to check if it was working before throwing it to the garbage, with the fedora 13 live cd in it, and voila, in entered and I was able to install fedora. But then upon installation of fedora it just shows again the same black screen...can this be a hardware problem?

Have been running F 15 with Gnome, no problems. Decided to install KDE to compare to Gnome. (I used KDE several versions ago). Desktop appears normal, however only some applications would open. Reinstalled KDE, again desktop appears normal, however now no applications open (including settings and file system).

I've recently installed Fedora 10 on a space computer. It works fine until I tried to install Mplayer.
As i've read on a number of sites that there is a dependency problem, I went through loads of websites looking for a fix. I found nothing that would work.
Now i'm stuck with a problem that i think might be worse. If I start a .RPM I get the following message.
Now when i try to install other things it's hit and miss, I tried to install VLC and got the same message.
I've got no idea what i've done to get to this point and i don't really want to reinstall fedora 10 again.

I just bought a new Acer desktop, installed Fedora 10. No problem getting into run level 3 but if I try to start X I get the following at the bottom of the message
Fatal server error
no screens found
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to x server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
I have dug around the internet to see what might be wrong. There are some articles from years ago but to be honest some of it is beyond me.

So lets start with my laptop. I am currently running windows vista 64-bit and I usually experiment with linux on a virtual machine but I decided to try and put it on as a dual boot os. I have x3 320gb hdd (7200rpm) on raid5, x2 1gb nvidia gtx go running sli, 8gb ram, 2.8ghz core2 quad, and random other things that aren't important. Point is that my system should run anything I throw at it.
So I downloaded Fedora 11 from a torrent and burned the iso to a disk. When I run it, it pretends its going to run it, it comes up with a log and loads stuff and all. But then it just hangs.. it doesn't do anything, no live starts, no nothing. Its just a blank screen with a blinking underscore in the top left "_" so I type and my typing shows up and thats it. Any other time I've used Linux I've never had to put in a command or anything to start, so I don't know what the problem is.

This is a new install of fedora 11 with Neville NewGuy at the controls. I cannot start Firefox from the desktop. Nothing happens (at all, nada, nix, zilch). When I run Firefox in a TermSess as su i get the following warning:
(firefox:3168): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
and a GUI error box An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
Followed by these details Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
But Firefox starts OK. I checked the URL specified and then made sure the nfslock service was started but I can't find a gconf service (should I have found it??).

I have a virtual machine on VirtualBox.I had Fedora 11, all was well.I ran the "preupgrade" tool. It downloaded all successfully, it asked me to reboot.On reboot, it installed everything as it should. It finished by saying it was installed successfully and asked me to reboot one last time.Now when I start it, some text flashes rapidly on the screen. Then it stops.See attached file for screenshot of the last text shown.
