FC5 X86_64 Installation on HP Pavilion ZV6130US Laptop (blind post)

[Rick Stevens]

If anyone else out there is having problems with Anaconda crashing
during a GUI install of FC5 on the above laptop, make sure you go into
the BIOS of the machine and set the video system to use the sideport
memory ONLY!  If you have the system set up to use either system memory
or system memory+sideport, anaconda (well, python actually) will have
a problem and crash.

Once the system is installed, you can go back to using system-only or
system+sideport memory.  System-only memory is needed if you use
nVidia's binary video driver.

Just thought I'd toss that one into the pile.
