Hi All, Yes, the dump was taken from VMWare. I did not want to reboot. So I used a ubuntu live cd to get that info. Later, I retried installing CentOS 4.2. I opted yes when I was shown this message: "No hard drives have been found. You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed. Would you like to select drivers now?" And then tried one at a time. One of them worked! I was delighted. The installation went on perfectly. No issues at all. But when I attempted to boot into CentOS, there was an issue. The machine hung. This was the sequence: *.* Setting Network parameters ------------ [OK] Bringing up lookback interface -------- At this point system hangs. Keyboard & mouse do not respond. Control Alt Del does not work. Monitor which was good until this time, starts showing "granules"... I tried again after turning off router. (I have a broad band connection from Tata Indicom). But it stuck again while "Bringing up loopback interface" Please help me boot CentOS. Regards, Ravi. On 3/29/06, William L.
