You were right ;-)) Now, everything works with the bundled 8.2 kernel. To remind everyone, now that everything is right : My config : AMD Athlon XP on a MSI K7T-Pro 2 with 256 Mo DDR-SDRam, 30 Go Maxtor, CD-Writer LG 24/10/40. If you use the bundled kernel, you need to turn off DMA by changing in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks : USE_DMA=1 to Use_DMA=0 (and uncomment the line of course). The same problem appeared with cooker kernels. I am not sure wether it is related to the kernel, or to the hardware itself, but it may but a test case for post-install steps to check this parameter. Otherwise, the system cannot access to the cdrom drive, and hangs everything. Thanks a lot for help everyone, i'm not sure this problem will persist for a long time, but it may be useful to take it into account as my configuration seems to be quite popular. Stef
