Im installing rh8 to a system
system specs
P3 650 on shuttle ab61 board latest bios 23 from shuttle
Maxtor 91531U3 15gig drive
128meg pc100 ram
50x cdrom
realtek ethernet
16meg banshee video
sound card not sure
anyway here goes,
install from floppy,cdrom and ftp
always intext mode
everytime I get through the initial setup screens (i.e. root password,users,ethernet config,firewall) it gets to the part where it format the root partition and fails at 11% with kernal panic Aiee-interupt handler not syncing.
What I've done thus far
Eliminated media issues by trying install via ftp. I know my boot floppy is good it has worked on other machines and internet conection is up and working.
Tested Maxtor Drive using Maxtor powermax software drive passes everytime. I'm in the process of low leveling it anyway. It seems to be going good.
I'm not sure if maybe somthing in the bios is not set correctly I have tried changing a couple of settings but I don't really know what I'm looking for.
With an error like interupt handler I was making an assumption that maybe two devices sharing an interupt maybe causing redhat some confusion. If thats it I don't see any problems like that during the post.
I did a google on the errors string and it did not return anything that looked like it was related to my problem
any ideas ?????????
