Can you boot from another bootable CD like an MS one on this machine and does the RH CD boot on another machine. If the answers are yes and yes you may want to check how the CDROM drive jumpers are set.
There have been some strange problems installing RH7.2 from CDROM drives configured using the Cable Select setting instead of Master/Slave. Failed installs mostly. I have 4 identical machines I had problems installing 2 of them. I read an artical on The Register of someone with these problems and it turned out that Cable select was the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Phil G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 6:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [REDHAT] Cannot boot from the RH 7.2 CD >Phil, what files and directories show up on the CD when you read it in >"normal cd roms"? dosutils images RedHat .disc1-i386 autorun boot.cat COPYING README README.de README.es README.fr README.it README.ja README.ko RELEASE-NOTES RELEASE-NOTES.de RELEASE-NOTES.es RELEASE-NOTES.fr RELEASE-NOTES.it RELEASE-NOTES.ja RELEASE-NOTES.ko RPM-GPG-KEY TRANS.TBL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon Messmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [REDHAT] Cannot boot from the RH 7.2 CD _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
