Once you get the freeze, flip over through the virtual consoles (hit <ctrl><alt><F1> through <F4>) and post any messages that you happen to find there. You will probably see something which looks like an error message, talking about a traceback. ------- Additional Comments From 11/10/99 01:49 ------- Since I couldn't get this to work, I tried to install Rehdat 6.0. The Redhat 6.0 didn't freeze; however, it had problems detecting my plug and play devices and assigning IRQs/IO ranges. I then looked in my BIOS and noticed the option for Plug and Play support was disabled. After enabling it, Redhat 6.0 detected all my devices fine. I then tried to install Redhat 6.1; I formatted my ext2 partitions and it installed flawlessly. However, if I disabled Plug and Plug support in the BIOS, the install would freeze. Thanks for the information. |
