On this subject, I too have had problems here. I downloaded it last
weekend and the checksums are fine. I get as far as the initial boot
screen text and then it crashes, complaining that either my hardware
is stuffed or I have a kernel bug! 

Oddly, having checked what hardware it finds, it's got just about
everything including the Highpoint controller's large drive. But still
won't do anything. Downloaded RH 7.2 yesterday so will have a go at
that tonight, and see if it really is something weird (I may have to
play shuffle hard drives).
