New to Linux, Installed Red Hat a few years back on a KDS laptop without any install issues.

Trying to install now on a old Pentium II 233MHZ computer with 64MB of PC66 RAM. Figured it would work but having problems right out of the gate.

I downloaded the ISO's from RedHat's site. Did a checksum on the files and everything ok.

Burned them each to CD.....

Enterred to do Graphical Install
It scrolls text and then sits on

"running /sbin/loader"

It proceeds and then looks like it's trying to initialize Anaconda
and it scrolls and stops here and never goes on.

=============================
[<c0105a88>] do_IRQ=0x58/0x90
[<c0103c4a>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20

Thing I have tried:
--Burned Disc 1 again.
--Ran a memory check, memory ok
--Tried to run media check, but it doesn't
get far enough along to do the media check,
it hangs at the same place when i choose to do media
check
--Ran text setup, hangs at same place...

Any ideas?

ok, tried a few other things and finally found the problem....

swapped out the CD-ROM drive with another one and it gets past that and to the "Test Media" part....

Woohoo!.......

Kinda weird that the old CD-ROM drive booted the CD and brought up the initial install screen but hung shortly afterwards.... I would have thought if the CD-ROM wasn't going to work that it wouldn't work at all...

Oh well.. Gonna be a long night....
