Booting from the CD and hitting the enter key for default install. It starts loading the kernal and many other items. When it changes to the color display it say loading ohci1394 module. It hangs there and nothng happens. Even waiting 20 minutes nothing. Can not even crtl alt del to reboot. Have installed Redhat 7.3 with no problems. 7.3 seems to see the Firewire port. I have no way of testing since I have no firewire devices. If this is what it is hanging on what can I do to not let it try to install the ohci1394 module. Have tried <linux text> and <linux noprobe> and get the same results. Media is good since I have installed with these cd to 4 other machines. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start installing from CD 2. 3. Actual Results: System hangs Expected Results: Installation continued Additional info:
Try booting with 'nofirewire' on the command line.
Tried linux nofirewire and it skipped that module. Now it hangs on the PcCard module. My guess is to see if I can skip both modules at this time. If not I will have to upgrade from Redhat 7.3 on the notebook now. Thanks for all your help Michael. More info on Notebook.

You should be able to boot with 'linux nopcmcia nofirewire'. Does that work?
Well I did the ' linux nopcmcia nofirewire ' and it comes to a blank blue screen and locks up there. So I tried ' linux nopcmcia nofirewire noprobe ' an anaconda installer started up fine. So I tried ' linux nofirewire noprobe ' an anaconda installer started up fine, but will hang with either ' linux ' or ' linux noprobe ' . Not for sure what it hangs on but I installed Redhat 8.0 on the notebook and on reboot in hung when loading the ohci1394 module. I will find where it loads this module and disable it. I believe that should take care of it. I will not be able to find to work on it for a few days since i will out of town. When back I work with some more. To speed up the work here can you tell me where the ohci1394 mod is loaded or is it in the compiled kernal. Thanks for your help. Brian
Jeremy how would the 'noprobe' option influence this behavior? I thought 'nofirewire' would be sufficient.
If noprobe fixes it while nofirewire doesn't, then it's not the firewire module causing problems and is something else.
Wait to see the next release of Redhat. Just went back to Redhat 7.3 added updates and very happy with that.
