Please test your media if you have not already. I too have seen this... dmaude@ntlworld.com Mediacheck results in a PASS. And additional attempts to achieve a "no probe" install, with suggested command-line settings for memory and resolution, hang at "OK, booting the kernel". I'm using Partition Magic 7 to divide a 40-gig IBM hard disk into four chunks: Win2k NTFS, Win2k FAT32, Linux and Linux swap. Acting on advice from Red Hat support, I removed the Linux partitions and left 15G of free space on the disc unallocated. This runs counter to PowerQuest's advice about using Partition Magic to achieve a multi-boot scenario - and still doesn't work This particular type of failure occurs mostly when there was corruption loading a python module from the install source (CD in this case). I would recommend getting replacement media and/or swapping the CD drive for a different drive to determine which is causing the issue. Thank you. I rebooted using DOS, chose my DVD - as opposed to ATAPI CD/RW - drive from there and install proceeeded correctly. Strange things seem to happen with some combination of CD media and drives. I've seen literally thousands of bug reports which come down to this... |
