In attempting to upgrade from RH 6.2 to FC-4 from a CD on an AMD K5 100 MHz machine I get the following error on boot-up: "Verifying DMI pool data .... Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: 1. FD (binary characters) System Type-(00)" The AMD K-5 then switches to booting RH 6.2 from the Hard Drive. I have verified that the FC-4 disc boots fine on a newer machine, so the disc itself is OK. There is no problem with the CD player in the AMD K-5 as far as reading CDs are concerned. Just won't boot from the FC-4 installation disc. Other than purchasing new equipment, can I disable the drives on the newer machine, move the AMD K-5 drive over and install FC-4 on the drive, and then move it back to the AMD K-5? What are my options? Jack
Check the hardware requirements for FC4. I believe they specify a minimum speed of 200 MHz. How much RAM does this box have?
