I have a failure when trying to install Redhat 6.2 /7.0 on one of our intel products. ( Intel BX chipset PIII with on-board Intel 82559er network and C&T 69000 video ) When I boot either the CD, or make a boot floppy I get the first text screen asking me to press enter or type "custom or text". Once I press enter the system then prints up Loading initrd.img ... at this point it either hangs or reboots the system. I have installed Redhat 6.2 / 7.0 using another product ( Intel BX PIII system with no on-board net or vid, but configured using the 82559er and C&T 69000 vid in PCI card form) and moved the hard disk to the original system. The system boots the hard disk and works fine . To help me diagnose this mystery could you please explain what is happening when the 'Loading initrd.img' message is displayed.
You might try booting with the command line with 'mem=<total ram - 1>M' so if you have a 64Meg machine, try 'mem=63M'.
Tried adding the mem=63M. The system still hangs at the same place ?
This sounds like a kernel related issue since the initrd is loaded by the kernel.
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/
