Hi List,
 
I post my prob once again BUT now with my BIOS settings (look at the end).
I exactly wrote it down like it is at the moment. Perhaps that helps!
 
 
I am trying to install RedHat Linux 8.0 with the configurations you see underneath on my machine but
the Installation freeze. ----->I also tried RedHat 7.3 same prob! What do I wrong???
 
My System:
AMD Athlon 700MHz CPU
FIC SD11 Mainboard with 686A chipset
384MB RAM
2 x IDE Primary Master Maxtor 30GB HDD, Secondary Master Creative 52x CD ROM
Video Card RIVA TNT2
Router
 
I did these configurations
 
RedHat Linux 8.0 in graphical mode CD Installation (CD´s tested with linux mediacheck --> pass)
-->Language: German
-->Keyboard layout: german (latin w/ no deadkeys)-->tried it also (latin)
-->Installation type: Server-->tried all other inst types
-->HDD Partition: manual with DISK DRUID
    Drive /dev/hda (Geom: 3736/255/63) (Model: Maxtor 93073U6)
   
I did it like u see next:
   
    Device:              MOUNT-POINT:    TYP:    FORMAT:    MB:        START:        END:
    /dev/hda
    -->/dev/hda1                /boot         ext3        x                102            1                13
    -->/dev/hda2                                swap       x                800          14                115
    -->/dev/hda3               /                ext3        x             28404        116                3736
 
 
-->Bootloader: LILO in /dev/hda3----->tries also /boot partition and I tried also GRUB Loader
 
Network:
--> automatically DHCP
 
Packets which I am installing: ---->tried thousends of combinations
-->X Window System
-->KDE Desktop Environment
-->Graphic Internet
-->Server Conifg. Tools
-->Web Server
-->Windows File Server
-->SQL Server
-->admin. tools
-->printer support

Filesystems will be formatted / and /boot without problems.
After that the installationimage is written on the HDD --> machine freeze (cant do nothing, must reeboot manually, no alert)
 
I also tried text mode installation. Same prob.
 
What is my fault?
