Everythign seems to work fine but, after i choose the keyboard type it looks for the Redhat CD. It obviously knows where it is since its booting off it , so why is it getting confused? I have tried : linux hda=nodma linux hdb=nodma etc etc linux ide=nodma but nothing seems to work. What am i doing wrong? How can i make it see my CD ROM which it is already using? michael
