I haven't been following this thread from the start, but .... Have you made sure that the bios is set to boot off CD first? Have you tried booting off of a floppy disk? (like a dos or win9x boot disk?) Are you sure the system isn't flashing a message across the screen before it jumps to grub? Something along the lines of "press any key to boot from cd-rom" ... Mine does that .. really annoying if you switch your attention to something else just before that flashes and you have to reboot all over again... *sigh* I'd check the bios to ensure that it's set up correctly... Installing Redhat should *not* prevent the bios from doing anything. In fact, until the bios jumps to the "read hard drive" portion of it's execution, redhat should have absoutely 0 influence on the running of the system. -- --------------------------- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold Engine / Technology Programmer friz godshell com RedHat Certified - RHCE # 807302349405893 --------------------------- "Something mysterious is formed, born in the silent void.
