It would be a good idea to check the integrity of the RH8.0 CD you are trying to boot from. To do this, use the md5sum program which you may already have on a Linux machine, or can be found for a Windows machine with a quick Google search. (md5sum.exe) In Linux, assuming hdc is your CD device: (do not mount CD) # md5sum /dev/hdc The correct md5sum's are published for the RH8.0 discs: d7b16b081c20708dc0dd7d41793a4177 psyche-i386-disc1.iso -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0 / Kernel 2.4.18-14
