Why the 'noprobe dd'? Let the system pick what it has. Your setup (ide-cdrom and 
scsi disks) is frequently found in servers and installs straight from the disks.

Why RH8? Why not FC3 (just released) or RHEL3?

In the end, roumors are RH8 is not the best RH version, RH9 and RH7.3 are 
regarded better if you cannot use FC or RHEL.
