Description of problem: The installer hangs during the initial boot of the installer cd. It specifically hangs during the partition check portion with message: partition check: hda: spurious 8259A interupt: irq 7 7.2 gets passed this fine, as well as the 8.0.92 beta phoebe. I've tried every combination of kernel options i could think of all to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Boot with cd #1 of redhat 7.3 or 8.0 on a compaq presario 906US. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Ok, using the kernel and isolinux files from the beta version of redhat, I managed to make a redhat 8.0 disk that would get past the initial partition check, however when it came to the selecting of the installation media, it was unable to find the cdrom!
