Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-08-02 05:43:09 UTC

Does it hang once vmlinuz has started loading?

Comment 2 StK 2002-08-02 09:46:14 UTC

It never stops loading vmlinuz.
It keeps reading from CD-Rom, but it loads vmlinuz for over 15 minutes
without any progress....

Did you mediacheck your CDs?

Comment 4 StK 2002-08-13 08:54:07 UTC

Yes, i did.
The first CD was a RW, but Mediacheck went ok.
I burned another CD, a normal CD with the same result.

RH 7.3 Boots without any problems!
