Re: boot up RED HAT 9, pause?

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

Re: boot up RED HAT 9, pause?

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:

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.
