Hi,

I have had this problem for a while now and I really want to test RedHat 
but I can't because of this F*cking problem.

When I boot up with my boot diskette, and chose General installation by 
just pressing -ENTER- I starts to checking all my hardware, the CPU, RAM 
memory, the PCI bus and so on. But after this lines:

IDE 182371 P11X (triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57

	IDE 0: BM.DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7
	IDE 1: BM.DMA at 0xffa8-0xffa7

The system completely hangs and my disk drives is lightning but it 
doesn't read anything and even if I take out the diskette it doesn't stop 
lightning and either CAPS LOCK or any other key works.  This happens also 
before I take out the diskette.

What can be my problem? 
Here's my hardware:

Fujitsu 2,5 GB IDE and Ultra-DMA is avalible if you install DMA but I 
have'nt done that,
ET600 4 MB RAM graphic card, NEC FLOPPY drive, Pioneer 32x CD-ron DRIVE 
IDE, a JET motherboard whit the TX chip and a Intel 233 MMX mhz CPU.

I use RedHat 5.0 and I'm a really "newbie" at this area.

By the way, _PLEASE_ send a CC to

Really thanks in advance,
//Daniel Mellgren
