Try booting to the UP kernel and upgrading to the kernel.
i don't think it's a good idea , i need in fact to use a 2.4.X kernel ; but when i try to boot with rescue mode and have a shell to access to the system , command like up2date did work proprely...
is there somone ! up there?
You installed RHEL4, not RHEL4 U1? Also what kind of machine is it?
yes i installed RHEL4 it's a HP pc : http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-Vectra-VL420-VL-420-P4-1-6Ghz-128MB-20GB-Win2K-Pro_W0QQitemZ5243006636QQcategoryZ51132QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I'm somewhat confused as to why you don't want to scratch your installation when it sounds like it never actually booted? If at all possible, I would suggest installing RHEL4 U1, or waiting for RHEL4 U2, rather than using RHEL4 GA, in case this is not hardware specific and has already been resolved. That hardware does not show up in our certification page (https://hardware.redhat.com/hwcert/index.cgi), so it may not be supported by Red Hat. As this seems to be an urgent thing, you might be best off going through our support. In order to file a support issue, please either contact Red Hat's Technical Support line at 888-GO-REDHAT or file a web ticket at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/.
