I am trying to install Redhat Linux 8.0 on my laptop alongside a windows XP installation. I have partioned the harddrive and apparently installed Linux into the partition but when I boot up using the Linux boot disk that I created, it appears to work OK starting up untill it gets to the IE1394 bit and then it hangs. I have tried booting several times but to no avail.
On a slightly different note I could not get bootmagic to start the Linux installation. My Linux partitiion are in an extended portion of my hard drive, win XP on an NTFS partition and a fat32 partition for bootmagic (setup by BM itself).
I have limited experience of installing and using Linux, running a dual boot on a desktop with Win 98 using a LILO bootloader. I had no problems installing that but I started from scratch with that system.
Any help would be much appreciated.
