The correct model pf the mainboard is KT266PRO, not k7t266pro

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-11-06 04:56:25 UTC
Try booting the installer with 'linux noathlon'.  Does that help?

Comment 3 Mircea Stoicescu 2001-11-07 12:18:26 UTC
Tried "linux noathlon" before posting the first time. Unsuccessful.

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2001-11-08 15:11:51 UTC
Hmm...is there any kind of debug message displayed by the installer?  

Also, did you verify the md5sums of the ISOs before using them?

Comment 5 Mircea Stoicescu 2001-11-12 07:47:22 UTC
I didn't check the md5sums . I guess this is the real problem. My apologies for 
the inconvenience. Thal You!
