[solved]FedoraCore10 On VBox 3.0.6 Black Screen

Post by phr0st »

Hi, I am trying to install Fedora Core 10 from the DVD onto Virtual Box 3.0.6 (BIN) with Virtual Box modules 3.0.6
I am running Gentoo Linux on an EEEPC 1008HA and booting from /dev/cdrom.

The DVD appears to boot properly and goes through normal start-up procedure, once it starts X (KDE I believe) I get a black screen.
The mouse remains responsive (I can even see the loading icon beside it that Fedora normally loads) and i can kill X by passing [ctrl alt del] to Virtual-box however Fedora restarts the X server every time it goes down, leading me back to the black screen. On boot time the keyboard is responsive and i can edit entries in the Fedora boot loader but can not go into Interactive start-up (By pressing the "I" key during boot) I can see that the I key gets entered but not read by Fedora.. Any help would be appreciated thanks. :?


--SOLVED--
BAD MEDIA, ISO INSTALLED PERFECTLY
