Hi,

We just got a ASUS P4C800/P4P800 and I am having trouble installing
Red Hat 8. I boot the system with Red Hat CD 1, which works okay. I answer the english, US questions, then I get the "Installation Method" screen that asks: "What type of media contains the packages to be installed?", it is set to "Hard Drive", which is wrong. It appears that I have a driver problem. Can some shead some light on this? Also where do I find the drivers if needed? Thanks

I am also having problems with an install w/ P4C800-E. I could only finish the install if I turned off the Promise SATA, and if in the bios I ignore my other SATA drives (in RAID). Not a good solution at all, but at least the install finished.

I got it to work by changing the BIOS settings for the disk to be "legacy mode" and I had to change from "serial ATA drives" to "Parallel IDE". I also could not use the onboard NIC, I installed a separate NIC and it works fine.
