Hi, all
I want to reinstall my hp machine with 11iv2, but everytime I boot from DVD till to select install or recover system, it always auto select the system reboot option.
I use WIN2000 to get to the console with vt100 term.
Is there anything I miss?
Can anyone meet this problem before?

Here is the reboot message:

I swear I have not press any key, so I believe I didn't select the Reboot option by a mistake.

There is something strange that it can't display all the install message. But I don't known why.

I have try it more than 10 times. I almost get crazy now. T_T

Problem is solved finally by using the MP LAN port to reinstall.
