Hello All,

I've tried all aspects but still can't get RH8.0
installed on my system, I have installed RH7.3
instead. I hope you guys can help me out.

Can you pls. let me know how RH8.0 installation flow
is, my interpretation is:

RH8.0 runs the follwoing in sequence:
1.0 INITRD
2.0 VMLINUZ
3.0 KERNEL
4.0 OPENS THE WINDOWS FOR INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION.
   - Type of install
   - partition
   - packages
   - etc.

My installation hangs when the screen reaches the
following lines, not even going into the interactive
protion (with the lines below I interpret it as the
KERNEL installation having problems:

***********************************
 POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX
 enabled ExtINT on CPU # 0
 ESR value before enabling vector: 00000002
***********************************
 
I have the following items on my PC:
 - AMD Athlon XP 1800
 - 40GB HD, 25 for Windows XP (FAT32), 10GB for
   Data (NTFS) and 5 GB left for RH8.0 (unallocated   
  free space).
 - Innovision GEForce2
 - 512 MB SRAM
 - Nvidia Sound cards

Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.

best regards,
