Question Redhat 7.1 Installation Failure


I am trying to install Linux 7.1 on a DL360, and I am fairly new to linux installations...
The HD has been wiped, and I have tried installation both from CD alone, and with Compaq SmartStart assistance...
The screen with the installation options pops up first. I have tried linux, linux nousb, linux failsafe, linux failsafe nousb, and all of them lead to the same failure:
the initial drivers? seem to load ok, and then I get the blue screen of Linux installation, telling me about tab/alt tab, space, and F12...
There is a popup telling me that Compaq Array drivers are loading, then the next screen shows "starting Anaconda..." and then "exec: no such file or directory"
Then it unmounts the drives, and tells me I can reboot my system...

Is there any other install option I should try? Anyone have any idea why this might be occuring?

Thanks all!
Greg

Well, how fast is your computer? I always get the same error on old computers.

Question Will give it a try!

Thanks guys, I will try burning a new disk from a different ISO and see if that solves the issue!
Will let you all know, and thanks again for the quick replies!
