problems with 2.6.11-1.35 kernel

iamroot
I'm intending to switch over to Fedora Core 4 from FC3 so I got a portable hard disk to backup my 5 GB+ worth of files and documents. I was worried that my portable HDD wouldn't work but was really relieved when I plugged it in yesterday and it auto-mounted like a flash drive.

CAN'T Install Mandriva LE2005.

Valet
This is really getting to the point where I'm throwing things around my room, because I can't install Mandriva. It just stops halfway through the install, everytime, without any provocation. This is my first OS on a system that I just finished building today.

Fedora Core 4

iamroot
I've just downloaded and burned FC4 onto cds and before upgrading from FC3 to 4, I wanna ask if anyone here has installed FC4 and tried it out. Are there any problems with it? I remember that FC3 sucked quite badly when it first came out and has problems with alot of things like udev and the nvidia drivers.
