Description of problem: The installer hangs at the "Media Check" stage. Of course this must be related to my laptop because everyone can't have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat 9.0 (8.0) How reproducible: Just insert the install disk 1 and press 'return' at the first screen. It then goes to the media check stage and the whole thing freezes up. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from install disk 1 2. At the first page, press return 3. Actual results: Freezes. Expected results: A continued installation Additional info: I'm on a hp pavilion ze4230. Celeron processor. I had the same problem when installing RH 8.0. The disks eventually passed the media check, so I know its not that the disk is bad. To get around the problem, some guy on the internet told me, you need to do "linux nousb" and use a PS/2 keyboard for the installation. That tip worked like a charm. Maybe since there is a solution, it doesn't qualify as a bug. ;)
I think this is just a kernel issue.
is this a machine with the radeonIGP chipset?
I don't know what a chipset is. But I found this on the internet for my model (hp pavilion ze4230) "...and a surprisingly capable 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset." from: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007M5VM/002-1076316-5584828?vi=glanceand Does that answer your question?
