If it was a 1024 Linux would not have installed. Check your hard disk for corrupt sectors. ALso since the your linux starts the booting process, LILO or LOADLIn is not an issue here. I think the install process did not go smoothly. Try reinstalling. If you can then try to get your box to boot in text mode and then try troubleshooting. RH CD has a recovery mode . try Knpooix for booting. Then you can examine yout init script. That can help sort out the problem. Do not give up yet Cheers Raj shekhar ________________________________________________________________________ Missed your favourite TV serial last night? Try the new, Yahoo!
