Installing RedHat (or any linux version) fails


I am trying to install RH8.0 but I can't start the installation.

It gives me the following error, but since I am not allowed to post an URL yet, error message is at the url below...
Installing it with VMware by the way.

Extra information:
System specs

AMD Duron 1.0 GHz
Asus A7A266 mainboard
512 MB DDR PC2100 (Dane-Elec)
GF4 Ti4200s 128MB DDR
HD1 - Maxtor 40 GB 7200 RPM
HD2 - Fujitsu 8 GB 5400 RPM
CD-ROM (don't know make)
CD-RW Lite-on 48x48x8

I have already read in several messages that there is some kind of an issue with Duron processors and Linux. Is there any way to fix my problem? Please, please, please help.

Duron's problems are with memory usage and AGP and shouldn't affect installation. See AMD's official position: this is not a CPU bug
