Installation freezes on CD-TEST at the begining

[Diego Medina]

I know both CD sets are ok, because i used them on other machines, and I´ve already tried the text-mode installation, I´ve even tried the <linux noprobe> installation, so I think is some kind of compatibility problem of the FC/RH distribution with my hardware, known that yesterday I tried SUSE 8.2 and it installed without any problem.
My biggest issue is that in my study/work environment I have much more support for the RH distributions so I would be a lot happier with FC or RH.
Thanks again

Have you tried a text mode installation? Type "linux text" at the boot 
prompt. (The default is a graphical mode installation). See if it still 
hangs, at that point. If you have access to another machine you might want 
to do the media check and verify it's OK, but it sounds like you've tried 
at least 2 CD sets (FC1 and RH9) already.
