I recently installed RH 4.8 on a Dell Poweredge R710. I simply put the install cd in the cdrom drive - which is first in the bios bootlist - and booted, an dinsalled RH. I have cause to reinstall RH 4.8 on this same machine - and it will not recognize the boot cd ( which is valis ). The same thing happened on an identically configured system, dell poweredge 710. Someone installed vmware on this system , and if I put the install cd in the cdrom drive it simply ignores it. Does anyone have any experience with this odd behavior ?
