* Description of problem: I have installed Redhat 9 from ISO image CDs on my Compaq Presario 800 laptop (Intel Pentium 3 700MHz, 256 MB RAM). The install CDs are valid, I ran mediacheck and also used the same CDs to install Redhat on a different machine without problems. Install was successful, there wer no issues or errors encountered. During the boot process, it conistently hangs after Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e I have found several bugs on this for older versions of the kernel, but in those bugs hitting the Enter key would continue boot. In this case boot cannot be continued. I have tried booting into rescue mode from the CD, but only get a blank blue screen after briefly seeing "Loading ohci1395 driver". I have tried re-installing from the CD, but can't even boot of the CD successfully anymore. It hangs on the first blank blue screen after briefly seeing "Loading ohci1395 driver". * Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.4.20-8 * How reproducible: Boot computer * Actual results: Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.

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/
