The default boot image for RedHat 7.2 had a bug in the Adaptec/Advansys SCSI controller driver. Maybe that bug was there in 7.1 too ?? RedHat 7.1 has a lot of bug fixes but unstable it definitely isnt as someone commented. It probably is a good idea to go straight to RedHat 7.3 or RedHat 7.2 atleast . In case you are trying to install anything less than 7.3 do use the updated boot image and boot from the floppy instead of the CD. Other than that I hope you didnt forget to do a low level format of the SCSI disk I believe it is mandatory on a new disk. Mithun __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
