Well,thanks a lot.MD5SUM checks passed with the " linux ide=nodma" 
command.the installation went fine.but after reboot
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 *_now waiting for a solution._*
some hints:
*i have chosen custom installation
*i have chosen advanced modification of grub and password protected the grub
*in partition magic it complains about the corrupted partition table and 
exits.my harddisk's  partition table after install looks like:

the first linux disk is "/" as you can guess.the second one is "/home" 
and there is a swap.
*as i have installed it with "nodma" option.can it be the problem.(it is 
written in the grub.conf file)

my grub.conf file is like that:



# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
