Well,thanks a lot.MD5SUM checks passed with the " linux ide=nodma"
command.the installation went fine.but after reboot system has halted at the boot.i opened the system with the rescue cd,typed grub.set then the correct partitions.but after reboot nothing has changed.so i rewrote MBR with the Win installation cd and now waiting for a solution. some hints: *i have chosen custom installation *i have chosen advanced modification of grub and password protected the grub *in partition magic it complains about the corrupted partition table and exits.my harddisk's partition table after install looks like: Disk: 1 Cylinders: 14593 Heads: 255 Sectors: 63 MB: 114471 --PCyl N ID -----Rel -----Num ---MB --Start CHS- ---End CHS-- BS CHS 0 1*0B 63 4096512 2000 0 1 1 254 254 63 OK OK 0 2 83 4096575 14747670 7201 255 0 1 1172*254 63 OK 3 OK 0 3 0F 21511035212925510103967 1339* 0 1 14592*254 63 OK 0 4 83 18844245 2666790 1302 1173* 0 1 1338*254 63 OK 3 OK 1339 1 82 63 1028097 502 1339* 1 1 1402*254 63 OK 1339 2 05 1028160 28740285 14033 1403# 0 1 3191*254 63 OK 1403 1 07 63 28740222 14033 1403* 1 1 3191*254 63 NB OK 1403 2 05 29768445 61496820 30027 3192# 0 1 7019*254 63 OK 3192 1 0B 63 61496757 30027 3192* 1 1 7019*254 63 OK OK 3192 2 05 91265265121660245 59404 7020# 0 1 14592*254 63 OK 7020 1 0B 63121660182 59404 7020* 1 1 14592*254 63 OK OK the first linux disk is "/" as you can guess.the second one is "/home" and there is a swap. *as i have installed it with "nodma" option.can it be the problem.(it is written in the grub.conf file) thanks again for your replies.i am an end user.
