I have a HP Pavilion g7-2235dx Notebook PC and I tried to install Fedora 18 64 bit. I'm using the livecd via thumbdrive and I tried it with liveusb creator and unetbootin. Neither of these programs worked as once the install started it said it could not find the kernel.
I then installed my older Fedora 17 from CD after turning off secure boot and turning on legacy in the (what I still call BIOS) and tried to upgrade to F 18 with fedup... Everything downloaded but boot up stops. So I tried doing a yum upgrade by adding the repositories, again everything downloaded but one file didn't work for audio and no install.
Finally I decided to just stick with F 17 but when I did an update, the kernel will not work. That prevents me from doing a lot of things that have to do with programming because the kernel headers will tune to the newest kernel, not the older one that I have to boot with.
I'm also running really hot, not sure what is causing that, but even the brick is really hot to the touch.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
William
