Red Hat 8.0 Install Won't Boot


Recommended Posts

SO I got all 3 ISO's, used Easy CD Creator to burn them as ISO's, checked them, everything looks fine. Then I put the first CD in the DVD drive, and when it asks for the install media, I check "Local CD." Then it says it can't find the local CD. So I put it in the CD-RW drive, same thing. And I know it's been mounted, because I can't open the drive when this hapens. So I have to restart my computer and then take it out. Help plz ;)

Create a boot disk on the floppy, which it's already in the CD. It should be in the images directory in the CD. You will need to use rawrite.exe, it's in the dosutils directory.

If you are on Windows, type in the command line following:

D:

cd dosutils

rawrite D:\images\boot.img a:

BTW: Change D: to your CD's driver letter.

If you are on *nix, type in the command line following:

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

You are done, it should create bootdisk for you. Try it..

BTW: I have the same exactly problem last week, when I test install on my grandparents' computer..
