lemme guess, Intel L440GX+ Motherboard? I remember having such problems installing SuSE on one of them. Using a 2.2.x kernel it was easy to work around, using the boot option I think aic7xxx=no_reset, but last I checked I don't think that option was available on 2.4.x kernels. I have installed redhat 7.3 on such a board but have not tried 8.0. All of my other L440GX+ systems run 2.2.x kernels or freebsd. If it is the L440GX+ this is a very very common problem, try googling around for it I'm sure you'll find some more info on it. I'm not aware of any workarounds for the 2.4.x kernel though it must work somehow if redhat 7 worked .... nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
