I have made nearly 100 attempts to install Redhat 7.0,
7.1, and 7.2 but
it continually fails after ctrl+alt+f1 reaches
"running anaconda",
ctrl+alt+f3 reaches "searching for usb mouse", and
ctrl+alt+f4 reaches
"raid5 set to p5_mmx". I have performed installs at
work with PentiumPros,
Pentium II, and Pentium III. I have never had the
amount of
difficulties I am having with my own machine.
Below is a description of the machine including what
Caldera sees
everything as. If anyone has any suggestions I would
appreciate it.
