Well as many of you may know Fedora Core 4 has some issues installing on some servers. It likes to install on some servers and not others, it seems that FC4 was going to be a failed project especlly for alot of people who wanted its powerful OS on there server. The problem lied within a faulty install script that has yet to be fixed that on some motherboards it cant not determain the IDE/Harddrive drivers and or it does find it but does not read them properly causing a failed install and in most cases a kernel panic. Well after doing some research on google i found nothing would work there was no info, this was about 2-3 months ago. I then said one day fuck it and went back to fedora core 3. Well on one server that I actually got fedora core 4 to install on, i looked into the kernel versions and so forth, and then said well hell let me try something. I ran yum but instead of letting it detect its normal list i copied the yum i hadi nstalled form FC4 to my FC3 and what I did was a yum update kernel and by doing that I was able to get the fedora core 4 kernel installed, upon reset i had no issues, then ran a simple yum update and boom i had officaly fedora core 4 and all its benfits and now so do our customers. So those of you who got frustered and gave up on fedora core 4, theres a simple solution.
