[F18 live Desktop] Can't get past first question (language)

[Jann5s]

Hi,


I'm trying to install FC18 from a (gnome) livecd, and the Continue button in the installer does not seem to be working, no matter which language I select, or how many times I press the button, the installer (anaconda?) does not proceed to the second question.

The system is a Lenovo x301 laptop (intel c2d), the live cd boots fine.

Can I provide some additional info, atm it doesn't throw any errors, making it hard to pinpoint the origin.

I am taking a wild guess here. If you press CTRL+ALT+Fn where Fn is F1 or F2 or F3, it will lead to different VTs. Perhaps, there are error messages there?

Also, did you verify that the image download was good? Checksum verifications?

I did verify the iso, actually, I used the same iso to install on a second laptop where everything worked fine.

I did look at the Ctrl-Alt-F3 I can't remember it showing any errors. The reason why I'm not checking again is because I downloaded the network install iso, from which I'm currently installing FC18, all seems to be going well.

I will try to run: /usr/bin/liveinst from a terminal (from the live-cd), after the install finished, hopefully I can get some (similar) errors from that.

[Jann5s]

I'm on to something here.

The laptop has a hardware switch for the wireless on the back, when I boot the live-cd with the wireless on, I can't continue, when I reboot the live-cd with the wireless switched off, I can continue. This is reproducable, and it doesn't matter if I use the button presented to me at login, or if I use /usr/bin/liveinst, however the latter option allows me to copy paste the errors

here is the output for "with wireless on":

As you can see, I clicked continue twice, rendering the last errors again, which are very similar to the ones of Andabata,

with the wireless switch off, I also get some error lines printed, however far less, and the installer continues to the second screen (as does the net-install iso). If desired I will reboot to get these error lines as well.

[Andabata]

I had a USB dongle for internet access on another port and without it I can continue to second screen too.
