Hi,

This is in regards to installing SL4.3 i386 in a "core duo"
At the moment it hangs after the line:
PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00)

I have tried linux all-generic-ide  and the live CD does not boot up either.

The funny thing is that SL3 installs with very little trouble

Sorry I'm light on the machine details, I can provide them tomorrow.
The machine does have a SATA disk.

Any ideas are welcomed.


Cheers,
Aldo
