The installation process with the CD only goes as far as the first screen of sysinstall and then the whole computer locks-up hard, no error messages, and I have to reboot. I have the following hardware: Matrox G400 videocard Seagate ST33232A H/D Gigabyte GA-6VXE7 with a VIA 82C596B chipset Intel Pentium 3 CPU Creative CD-RW RW3260E Soundblaster 16 soundcard (isa) 256 MB sdram I'm using Linux RedHat at the moment without any problems. I have searched everywhere for any clues on this problem without any luck. Thanks in advance for any help.
