Installing Fedora 13 on a MacBook Pro

Fedora releases are sometimes a bit flaky, and Fedora 13 isn’t an exception – at least not when I was trying to install it on my MacBook Pro 5,5. It simply froze while booting the installation operating system – last display error was “Waiting for hardware to initialize”. Hours later, it turns out the magic trick is to add the nomodeset kernel option when booting the installation.
