3RD TRY: Re: Can't boot from Core 2 CD (HELP!) (fwd)

[Michael E. Webster]

You might try several of the install flags - i.e. ide=nodma, nousb, or
something similar.  Personally, I've had nothing but trouble with 
AIC7XXX controllers.  I believe this is the same controller used on the
440GX motherboards.  I'm stuck at RH7.2 on the boxes with those
motherboards.  Good luck!



Mike.
