RH8.0 halts after partition check.

[2pin]

Hello all,

I would happy if anyone has an idea why after installing RH8.0 the machine boots on it's own up until the partition check when it halts after displaying the hda etc. info. I do not think that the problem is with the partitions as I have tried many configurations (the disk was empty). I can boot up using the CD-ROM in rescue mode and it passes the partition check point. My PC has no floppy drive and this seems to be the next thing checked when booting (something is printed about ide floppy in the good case), could it be this that is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. SUSE 7.3 installs and boots OK, but I don't want to use that at the moment.
