if I install "redhatELAS4.0WithU2-64". It will ask to verify the CD. And then after it will run anaconda installer. And after that it will give the kernel panic error as described below. **Error Description : ACPI wakeup devices: USB md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.

Can you provide us the stack trace back when the panic happened? Also, based on comment#1, it looks like the m/c support is in U3, therefore, our recommendation is to upgrade to RHEL4 Update 3 or higher.
