Expected Results:  Red Hat 7.0 linux should have started

The machine uses an Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard with an Athlon 1.2GHz 
processor and 485Mb RAM.  Red Hat 7.0 is installed on the Promary IDE port 
on the secondary drive (Western Digital 12.5Gb drive).  The motherboard 
RAID functions are not used.  LILO is configured to use linear mode.  From 
LILO, the following parameters DO NOT work: "linux 
x86_serial_nr=1", "linux mem=256M" (the first memory module is 256Mb).

Comment 1 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:38:57 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
