Hi, I have a similar problem but with different config: I have 3 disks that I use for my Primary Master hdd and I change them to work under different system setups. As the information on those disks are vital, I dont want them to be 'touched' by LILO or GRUB or anything else. So I have connected an old 6 Gig disk for FC3/RHEL4 installation and want to install LILO or GRUB (yeah whatever) to this new 6 Gig disk which is connected to Secondary Slave (it is hdd1 right?). As I want to boot into this red-hat, I press F8 and there comes my Soyo boards boot menu asking where to boot from (FDD, Pri-M, Sec-S, CDRom, NetW) and I simply choose Secondary Slave. After this, I see a text saying "GRUB" and then it sits like that for ages doing nothing with no error messages... :( I remember me installing FreeBSD v5.3 with the same method (^^^^^) with no problems. Why does the RH installation fail to boot and hang? -- SubZero -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
