Since you didn't mention in which step the install stops ... I can only say : check you cd or burn another copy ... or download it again (better)

The cd copy is ok, it stuck booting after vmlinux load, i want to know if there is an issue with scsi disk and scsi cdroms or if was just a bad luck.

The cd copy is ok,

you can't say this unless you do at least one install with that CD.

it stuck booting after vmlinux load

most of the times this comes from a bad cd ...

maybe try press alt-F3 or alt-F4 maybe you can see what was going on when system got stuck.

I allready install like in 6 differents machine with the same CD, thats not the point, please just answer me if there is a known issue with the server model, or with scsi cdrom or with scsi disk, or if i have to go from scratch install and forget about vicidialnow.

what do you get when you do this ?

because as you may guess your problem is related to some driver/module that when loaded system is dead ... you mlay need to use some kernel option : press F1 at first screen of install & it should show you how to do that.

as if this is related to your scsi drives ... a linux installer will not die if it doesn't recognize your discs, it will just tell you no space available.

We haven't had any chance to test the VicidalNOW distro on SCSI disks. Most of our test hardware have SATA and IDE disks.

Try pressing Alt+F1 to F5 as what Pylinuxian recommended to see any error messages during installation.
