[PLUG] Problem with installation of Linux

[Rajendra Sakpal]

Hi Friends,

I am new to Linux installation & trying to install Red Hat 8 that is shipped
with the book "Official Red Hat Linux User's Guide".  The installation is
stalling in the initial step.  Following is the console output beyond which
the installation doesn't seem to proceed even after waiting for several
(30-45) minutes.  As per the installation instructions, I should expect a
Welcome screen for the installation once I choose the mode of installation
i.e. graphical or text.  I tried to install in both graphical & text modes.
However, the end result was same.

I need some help to go ahead with the installation.  Could you please help
me with pointers to resolve the installation issue?
