Redhat 7.2 on HP Pavillion Dv5237

[wgqiu]

Try to install Redhat 7.2 on a new HP Pavillion DV5237. Successfully re-partitioned the HD to 50Gb NTFS and 50Gb ext2/3. When I began to load the redhat 7.2 (which I use it in purpose since I have some old software only runs in old linux), it stopped at the stage of Disk Druid or Fdisk. It gives me an error message that "no valid device to setup the file system" and then aborts.

Does anyone have any idea what is the problem and how can I fix it?

Best,

WQ

I still got the same error message no matter which option I choose for the partition...

Did you try entering the linux -noprobe command, when the installer starts up?

[wgqiu]

when the screen shows
boot:
I typed
linux -noprobe
I hope this is the way you are suggesting.
