Hi I would appreciate if anybody knows why I cannot install RedHat Linux 7.0.. I have purchsed RedHat Linux Deluxe Edition, when I wanted install it my Pc was hung up when it got running install running sbin/loader I think that after that should be get running Anaconda it take a few minutes to load and the should be come up the white and black screen with the black mouse pointer and then the grafic installation... I insert the Cd onto the Cdrom and then I reboot off the Pc from the CdRom so the installation gets the Screen Walcome to redhat linux 7.0 without any problems and then I chose press enter that it's the grafical installation(I tried all of them) and the installation starts to run without any problen till that it gets running install....running /sbin/loader that my pc is hung up and I need to reboot off my PC..so are there anybody who knows what is the matter? or what's happend? Thank you....

I had the same problem with redhat 6.X and couldn't get it to work right but redt hat 5 and 7 worked fine. I think there installation is pretty picky or theres a bug in it.

It very well could be that your CD is defective, at least that's what happened to me, although mine came with a book and was a publisher's edition of Red Hat 7.0. It also hanged several times during installation, so I tried simply copying the content of the CD to my hard drive and when that didn't happen as well I called the publisher, had my CD replaced and installed Red Hat without a hitch! Thanks.

Thank you to everyone for your replay...I would like to say to you Robert that i tried the installation with the original REDHAT linux(Bought at REDHAT) and with a version that it comes with a book and it not working in both so.....Thanks!!!! I think that has to be a hardware compatibility or something like that...

I downloaded the ISOs from redhat's website, they have been used to install on other systems (x86). Now, i'm trying again on an embedded x86 platform (actually not really different from a workstation, 64mb ram, National GXM processor, caviar 33100 HD, Samsung SC-140 CD.) And i reach the statement: running /sbin/loader and it hangs
