I am still in process of installing it. The last few line which I see are: -------------------------------------------------------------- Stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 Panic: Page Fault Syncing disks... Uptime: 0s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds or press any key for prompt reboot. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am not getting Sysinstall menu. I don't know why it says to reboot. Thanks.

Remove the CD (if it is in the CD drive) and boot from the hard disk instead.
