Here we go again. FC3 panics when booting the first disk

[nick G]

I don't think FC2 comes with fdisk or anything, otherwise I could probably 
do something.  That's what I mean I'm forced to do it this way.  I do not 
get the language or keyboard sellection screans because it panics before I 
do.  Everything just dies.
Thanks,
Nick

So, you do not get the language and keyboard selection screens?

But future releases didn't? Is this what you're saying?

Do you mean that you are forced to devote the entire hard disk to Linux?
That you don't have the liberty not to use some of it aside from the
installation? That makes no sense to me. Please explain.
