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!

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

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?
