From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; MSNIA; Windows 98; MSNIA) I have installed Redhat7 (workstation) on my Compaq Presario 2100 and I am unable to get Linux to boot. The screen freezes during the boot process and I get the following error message: Call Trace: Bad EIP value Code:<1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000b4fc current->tss.cr3=00101000,%cr3=00101000 *pde 00000000 Oops:0000 CPU:0 EIP:0010:[<c010a4d7>] EFLAGS:00010046 eax:000b4fc ebx:00000000 ecx:0000b4fd edx:00000001 esi:c3ddbf2e edi:c3ddf8e ebp:0000bf26 esp:c3ddbe92 ds:0018 es:0018 ss:0018 Process swapper (pid:1,process nr:1,stackpage=c3ddb000 stack:0000bf38 0000bf26 00000086 0000b4fd c025b0a3 c010a535 c3ddbef2 c01e7a27 c01e928e 00000000 00000000 c010f843 c01e928e c3ddbef2 00000000 c3dda000 00000001 c0106000 0000bf26 c0000000 86e00000 c010a181 c3ddbef2 00000000 Call Trace: Bad EIP value.

I too am a newbie and am seeing the same problem with an almost identical configuration.
I am also experiencing this boot problem using the LILO boot floppy. You can reference ticket 202247 for my contact info. I have an ASUS CUV4X-D motherboard, P-III/1.0GHz processor, 2.0GB of PC133 RAM, WD 20GB hard drive, one CDROM on IDE, one CDRW on SCSI i/f (Adaptect 2940UW), 100MB ZIP on IDE, floppy, PCI sound card, PCI ethernet card, AGP graphics card, etc. I have downgraded to 1.0GB RAM upon suggestion of RH support. I have reconfigured to a 133MB boot partition upon suggestion of RH support. I am configuring a 1GB swap partition, a 1.6GB root partiont, and a 4.0GB /usr2 partition. Install progresses fine but end result will not boot from either LILO floppy or from hard drive.
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/
