@bigbear Yes or Alt + f2, f3, all the way to f8 I think should also switch to different console. One of them should be a # prompt

You also might want to check SATA mode for your SATA ports in bios/uefi.

This post sounds familiar except I wasn’t trying to dual boot anything.

I just uswd the same live usb stick to wipe a windows 10 laptop with now issue so far after several reboot.

Waiting for net install cd to complete to see if I still have the same issue, then will try commands above from sudo -i since root no longer has a password?

You know I think Sata is set to IDE mode because I remember seeing that in the bios when changing boot order...

Data ports have ahci/ide/raid options. ide and achi have no impact, will have to pick up in the morning on this

From the live CD, this is what it wants to create when I do a custom setup and delete all partitions.

I hate this default layout.

I would delete the /home partition and then set / to 500Gb and then click update. it will resize it down to max.

This is a server. There is no reason to have a separate /home like this.

That is a Fedora workstation live installer.

It was for a spare workstation at a customer location in a spare office, I am going to be in and out helping a lot and dont want to leave my laptop there.

But I agree and hate the layout, and I am started to think its just a POS ThinkCenter that isnt going to work.

I actually tried to installed Fedora on a spare Intel Server they had with a SR1200BTS but the mouse and keyboard literally will move only every 10 seconds. I flashed the BIOS to 2018 March release but it didnt help so I grabbed the ThinkCenter.

So I made a full USB installer for Suse Tumbleweed this morning and loaded it up, I am afraid to reboot.

I am hoping its something Fedora is missing the Suse got right...
