Description Need Real Name 2000-10-10 15:43:07 UTC
I tried to upgrade a HP Pavilion 8650C that was previously running RH6.2. 
Everything seemed good but after loading LILO, I got the
Loading vmlinux......

And then it hung.

I tried to a clean install of RH7.0 (using the same partition table) and it
failed with this error (it asked me to save it to a floppy and mail it to
you).
