What kind of cdrom is it? I ask because I have see a few issues with some
CDROM's getting unloaded for some strange reason. Try going to CNTL ALT F2

Hi,
  Thanks for your suggestion..
  - Its a DVD ROM drive.(But the OS is burnt on a CD.)
   
I would like to add few points...
   (*) I Made all settings in the boot option for i/p,o/p & error devices 
   (*) Added a boot option to boot from CD (as a first boot option)
   (*) When it start booting from CD, I am getting a "text" based GUI

showing the options:
           Installation
           Installation - Safe settings
           Manual Installation
           Rescue system

When i select any of these options (i tried selecting all..!!), it starts 
uncompressing Linux & den Loading file initrd... till this time it reads 
from CD, After that it just stops reading it..

Is it a problem with Monitor/VGA am using...??? or the problem with 
CD/DVD ROM...??? and one more thing is... that server is having RedHat 
Linux previously installed...

Thanks,
Praveen
