F10 64bit failure


I've brought f10 up on my mythtv server and my laptop at home (with my dev server yet to be upgraded) so now it's time to bring it up on my systems at work.  The first box is a dell dimension 9150  which has a 64bit cpu.  So after going through the process of prepping for the upgrade I booted and started to configure for a 64bit installation.  Unfortunately the installation always locked up.  The farthest it  ever got was right before it wrote out the new partition information.  However, I was never able to get this system up on 64bit.

I retried with the 32bit installation and it appears to be installing without problem.  I realize this might be considered a media problem but I since I'm doing a network install I never had it check the media (iso images).  I have another server that is to be upgraded (re: reinstalled) from f7 later this week.  I'll redownload the 64bit dvd, just in case and try again.  Hopefully it will work on that system.

After this installation completes I'll post the complete process I go through when doing an upgrade, including the planning and reasoning for why I do things the way I do.
