I saw the same problem installing RH7.1 on a Pentium 100 with 64MB. Did a cold reboot and it worked. I was booting from the CD though. Can you boot from the CD? Can you supply any error messages at all? There is an improved shell that you can use via Alt-F2, Alt-F3, etc. Maybe you could copy dmesg or some log to a floppy? I'll bet others are reporting this kind of error and maybe there are some fixes. I'll try to poke around and find out, encourage you to do the same. On the RedHat newsgroups, mailing lists, FAQ, etc. John --- Chopin Cusachs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: <em>> <em>> The Red Hat 7.1 CDs arrived from Cheapbytes and <em>> today I <em>> attempted to install. <em>> <em>> The Linux box has Rad Hat 6.1 working, and I have <em>> added <em>> but not formatted a second hard drive. <em>> <em>> Created the boot.img diskette on this machine.
