Well,thanks a lot.MD5SUM checks passed with the " linux ide=nodma"
command.the installation went fine.but after reboot<br>
system has halted at the boot.i opened the system with the rescue
cd,typed grub.set then the correct partitions.but after reboot nothing
has changed.so i rewrote MBR with the Win installation cd(to gain
access at least windows) and <b><big><big><u><font color="#990000">now
waiting for a solution</font>.</u></big></big></b><br>
some hints:<br>
*i have chosen custom installation<br>
*i have chosen advanced modification of grub and password protected the
grub<br>
*in partition magic it complains about the corrupted partition table
and exits.my harddisk's partition table after install looks like:<br>
<br>

the first linux disk is "/" as you can guess.the second one is "/home"
and there is a swap.<br>
*as i have installed it with "nodma" option.can it be the problem.(it
is written in the grub.conf file)<br>
<br>
my grub.conf file is like that:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
# grub.conf generated by anaconda<br>
#<br>
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file<br>
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that<br>
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.<br>
# root (hd0,1)<br>
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2<br>
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img<br>
#boot=/dev/sda<br>
