If I set the BIOS to boot from CD (you can imagine this!), normally the machine fires up and says something like IDE0 Master : Maxtor EDU101 60Gb IDE0 Slave : Iomega Zip 250 IDE1 Master : Generic CDRW/DVD IDE1 Slave : Sony DVD/RW with the press delete for the BIOS down the bottom. That isn't coming up (unless I clear the BIOS, then it does - once only though). The screen clears and you then get a list of all registered devices. If you're booting from CD, this is when it happens. It's not as the drives haven't been seen. If the drives have been seen, you can boot from CD, but then anaconda dies (doesn't matter if it's text, GUI or noprobe is used). I did manage to fiddle it so I could install and that went painlessly. Nothing on reboot mind (drives not seen). I've downloaded a slightly newer BIOS and hopefully, that will help tonight. I'm not optimistic.
