Description of Problem:  During installation system would hang after the 
detection of the CD-ROM.  Some how was able to get past it on one occasion 
and performed install.  Upon rebooting system after install it continues 
to hang every time at this location.  Would like to know how or why system 
hangs or a way to correct.  Are there any known BIOS settings that could 
interfer?

This might be an issue for Red Hat tech support instead of bugzilla - there
doesn't appear to be a specific problem here that you can provide details or a
solution for.

I would start by trying RHL 7.1 instead of 7.0 - newer usually means less bugs. :)

Sorry for the delay. (bootpc has nothing to do with the boot process,
incidentally. Most likely this was a 2.2.x kernel issue.)
