Description Jon Klaren 2004-05-20 03:39:04 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET 
CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
Attempting to install Fedora Core 2 from DVD iso (which has correct 
md5sum). Hardware is Asus P4P800 Deluxe mboard, P4-2.8GHz, 1 GB ram, 
120 GB Seagate EIDE. Machine currently runs gentoo Linux with kernel 
2.6.3.

The initial syslinux boot screen appears, and no matter what boot 
option I select, I get the same result: the machine reboots 
immediately after loading initrd.img. Thus, I am unable to boot the 
kernel from the install media and unable to proceed with the 
installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert DVD, boot computer
2. choose any option from the syslinux prompt
3. watch it reboot after loading initrd.img
    

Actual Results:  reboots ad infinitum

Expected Results:  should boot the kernel, and proceed with 
installation.
