Cannot install SME 6.01 on ASUS PR-DLS Dual Xeon motherboard

mono

I've run into a problem installing SME 6.01 and would like to know if anyone has got experience with this problem.
I try to boot an ASUS AP1700 Dual Xeon (socket 604) server (PR-DLS motherboard w/2x1.8GHz CPU's), but only get "Loading initrd.img ...) and then the machine hangs.
The servers hardware is fine, as it will boot into DOS, NetWare, Fedora etc, but there must be some compatibility problem with SME (RH7.3?).

Any advice is highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Terje

Download the ISO image again and verify with the MD5 sum.  Sounds like you may have a bad copy.

Thanks, but I found out that there was a hardware error causing this problem and now it works fine.
