Hi ya,

I recently bought a AMD AthlonXP 2000+ system with a Geforce2 MX400 graphics card and I have been having *major* problems with RedHat 8.0 installation. The installation program (Anaconda, I believe) was unable to detect the video card and therefore launched the installation in a text-only mode and it just 'hangs' after the 'Disk integrity check'! No errors, warnings, or whatsoever...

Anyone know whats going on? Anyone with similar problems? Help would be much appreciated.

I have also tried Red Hat 7.3 and it seems to be fine! Whats with 8.0?

i have a geforce 2 go video card which was detected vesa under redhat 8.0 you can give it a shot tell that you have vesa and the nvidia driver in redhat and in nvidia s site seems no to work so i am using vesa drivers i do not know about freezing on the disk part but maybe you can install redhat 7.3 and then upgrade to 8.0

My Redhat 8.0 installed just fine in text mode. My guess is that your problem has to do with something else? Does your install disk work on another machine?

Also try the rescue mode, or you may be able to skip the disk integrity check somehow.
