[techtalk] RH 6.2 Install Problems

[sandyj]

Hey all:
I am having install problems with the RH 6.2....

First:
The system is a PC Chips TX Pro Chipset  512k MB,
no on board sound or video.
Amd K6-233 Cpu with a good sized heat sync and fan.
32 Mb mixed Edo and FP ram 16MB x 2.
Generic CL - GD5446 2Mb video, Cirrus Logic Chipset.
MediaVision Spectrum Soundcard with Scsi.
Dlink Isa De220e nic.
2Gb WD Hd, Ide. "Primary master"
6X Mitsumi Cdrom, Ide. "Primary slave"

All the hardware tests ok with Tuff Test,
the Hd tests ok with Ndd and Scandisk.

RH 5.2 and MS Os's install with out any problems...

I downloaded 1 ISO image from RedHat.com's Ftp site,
and 1 from the Alberta mirror site.
Burned them to Cd and both choke during the install
at about the same point, give or take a screen or two.

I have tried to install by booting from the CD it just continues to reboot
at the same point during the install over and over again,
got sick of it after the 4th reboot.
I created the rawrite boot disk and ran the install from that,
"Checked the floppy disk for errors, is Ok".
and the install chokes at the auto partitioning part of the install.
"Tried to manually partition, same thing".
The install just freezes up, the mouse still moves around ok but the
setup screen is frozen, and I have waited as long as 60 min
of no activity before hitting the power button.

Any Ideas....
Thanks
