Im trying to install redhat9. But keep getting a failed test on shrike-i386-disc2.iso.
I got my first copy from linuxiso.org. After burning 3 CD's I downloaded another copy from a diff mirror.
Burned 2 more CD's with same problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

last resort: order back issue33 of Linux User & Developer from www.linxuser.co.uk, then you'll get all three cd's or a dvd in a nice cover

hmmm, yea i could.

Thats a broke link, but Thanks.

I think id rather try it, & if i like it.... donate.

you may have a hardware problem. Sometimes you get funky errors when youre over heating or you have wrong voltages set for your cpu and things. make sure the voltages are what they should be and check all yoru temps to make sure they are acceptible. i had that problem when my core voltage was too low.

ok, yes ill check that as well.

I think I found my problem. I saw on another post that vmware is my problem.

http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/67132

Trying this now:
In VMWare, choose the VM with Redhat then:
Goto the Edit menu
Choose - Virtual Machine Settings
Click on CD-Rom
On the right side, under Connection, choose the Actual drive letter for your CD-Rom rather than Auto Detect.

I'll post my results.

Ok, selecting the drive letter didnt work for me.

This worked for me, I used the iso straight from my hdd.

When you are asked to insert disc2, go to edit on vmware tool bar / virtual machine settings / cdrom / select ISO image / browse for your shrike-i386-disc2.iso

NOTE! I did this for all 3 iso images.... was much faster than.

Thanks goes out to this forum & members.

Ok, I got redhat9 installed in vmware, booting fine & everything.
NO internet......grrrr

So after 3 days of messing with installing it & then no internet... I was tried of vmware.
I noticed that it was kinda sluggish as well...
AMD 1800+, 512MB
I had read that 9 was memory hungry, so after a few mins...
I grabed up an old desktop & downloaded 7.3
Install went great..... both disks install fine & didnt ask for the third... np
reboot?... sure

Looking great all green "OK"
Then: Checking for New Hardware

Hangs up.... wait an hour, reboot
Hangs up

Is this a hardware problem? Do i need the third disk?

Thanks.

By the way this is a:

HP - AMD 333mhz, 160MB, 4GB
Radeon 9100 PCI 64MB VGA+DVI-D
Linksys Ethernet 10Base

oooops......

I missed the old sound card hiding on the bottom.
