I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I have tried linux ide=nodma and linux text ide=nodma after trying linux and linux text Anaconda fails on both CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 in all cases. The system I am trying to install on is running CentOS 3.x. The hardware is P4 2.8 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 120GB 3ware IDE/PATA RAID HD, ATI Video, CDRW CD, Dual Nic, Floppy and IDE/PATA Tape drive. Please provide any options to the kernel that I should try besides the ones mentioned above that fail.
