Good afternoon all. Let me tell you what my problem is. When I try to install 7.3, the machine seems to just go to sleep and never come back. I had this roblem with Skipjack and never got it figured it out. So I just wrote it off to Beta bugs and waited for 7.3. I have tried running the install from the GUI, text, and text mode FTP, all with the same result. It is never in the same place either. It has made it as far as disc 3, but it usually locks up somewhere in disc 1. I have reinstalled 7.2 to verify that everything is (from the surface) functioning OK. What is different about the installer for 7.3 and 7.2? The machine is a Dell OptiPlex P3 800 with the latest BIOS updates. I have checked the other VT 's for errors and there are none showing. I try to cat the /tmp/X.log and it never responds as well... Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. If I can 't run the latest and greatest RedHat distro, I will probably lose my mind... :)
