I've installed DSL linux -- no problem My expertise is in the HP3000 (non windows, non unix) environment. When I boot from Centos CD#1 I get a Panic error..... I'm thinking hardware is the issue so I try a different machine, same thing. I've tried 'linux rescue', 'linux mem=256' still the same error, which is mostly unreadable to me because most all the messages roll off the top of the screen. I am willing to buy new hardware, what hardware will just work right out of the box? Or are there other boot options? -- Michael Anderson, J3k Solutions Sr.Systems Programmer/Analyst 832.515.3868

At boot: linux mediacheck Check each CD as it prompts you to replace them. If that fails try it with DMA turned off. linux mediacheck ide=nodma If everything passes, try the install with the nodma option then. That has caused me grief in the past. Regards, Max - -- # find .
