I've had problems like this from a laptop. The bios handles the cdrom until the OS takes over. The OS is in ram so it may not have the correct drivers for the hardware it just booted from. Pain in the A**. If it's SCSI you may need to load a module or do some lilo magic. Never had to mess with lilo boot time parameters though. amy tanner wrote: > Trying to install RH 7 from CD.
