Have you had any version of Linux running correctly on this system before? Give us the system's full specs.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

Redhat 9 has some options which you can pass to the kernel at the Boot: prompt to work around certain problems or incompatibilities. You can read about them here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...-bootopts.html

Try the "noathlon" option first; it's been known to clear up boot-up hangs on Athlon systems.

Let us know how it goes. Those boot options often do the trick, but if not, we'll try to come up with some other solution(s) for you.
