Description pallanza1 2000-12-26 00:31:18 UTC

I can't start installation of RedHat Linux 6.1, because I need to create
Boot disks, but, after creating them (with RAWRITE) and rebooting the
computer, the message "Boot failed" appears and the installation doesn't start.
The problem is not related to a damaged disk, because the same disk works
on other computers.
Moreover, I don't have problems with RedHat Linux 5.0, because the disk
created with RAWRITE works correctly.
My computer is a 486 DX2 66MHz 16MB RAM.
