Hi

Just upgraded to AMD 4800+ with AMD based chipset (690) with ATI graphics
with 160 GB SATA Hard disk

Tried to load Red hat Enterprise 5.0 and after Fedora 7.0

Both installation hangs

In Redhat 5.0 it says "running anaconda the linux installar ..."

and simply hangs

How can i over come from this problems

Also i tried linux text and linux noprobe methods

Regards

Try turning APIC and APM off in the BIOS.

Hi

I received a Driver DVD with ASUS motherboard which contains drivers for both windows and linux.

I dont know how to use the drivers lying inside the DVD, there is a file with a name Chipset driver for linux

How can i show path for that file during installation

Should i have to make driver cd in a special way so i can point it to Linux installation by using linux dd option

Regards

You havent even got to the point where the drivers are needed, probably, nor are you at the point where you can install them if you needed them anyway!

Did you try what I suggested.
