Actually I don't think it is a disk problem, I just download DVD iso image from
a fedora mirror, executed sha1sum and I burned it to a DVD, no problem in this
process. On the other hand if I try to install from this DVD-disk in a desktop
PC with an internal operational DVD-reader there's no problem, after select the
instalation method, anaconda starts graphics mode and installation progress
without problems.
The problem is, I think, that the kernel which installation boots up doesn't
load usb modules, so it can't find /dev/scd0 or simillar when I select cd-rom
media as installation method. It is looking just in /dev/hdc which in fact is
the laptop DVD-broken-reader (I can't use that).
If I start with linux expert and press ALT+F3 I can see messages but no prompt
is presented, same as ALT+F4 where I can see messeges like the kernel ones.
At the beggining of the instalation process, when prompt boot: is presented I
've tried things like
boot: linux expert noapic module=usbcore nofb
boot: linux expert noapic module=usb-storage nofb
boot: linux expert
boot: expert usb_storage
boot: expert
none of them worked :-(
How can I say that the kernel should load de usb mass storage module/s in order
to install from the external usb-dvd-drive???
