Back
Good day,
This morning I attempted to install RHEL 4 Update 3 on two (2) Dell 500 SC
machines. Both machines are identical except for one machine has a 20 Gig disk
and the 2nd machine has a 250 Gig disk. Both disks are EIDE. Both machines are
Intel P-III, 1.4 GHz, with 2 Gigs of memory.
The install is freezing during the disk format. I have tried to do a manual
format (my preferred way) and I have tried the automatic format. Both machines
freeze at, what appears to be, the end of the disk format no matter which
method I use.
The CDs I am using for the install I used to do an install on a Dell Optiplex
over the weekend. The install went fine...no problems.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening? I'm going to try an
install with an earlier version of RHEL 4 to see if this happens again. I have
about 20 of the Dell 500SC in our lab and have done numerous installs of RHEL 2
.1 and 3 without any issues. This one has me stumped.
Thanks,
Pat
