From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607 Description of problem: When I do a NFS install the bootdisk created in the installproces doesn't work. It hangs at the point it wants to read/use/uncompress the ramdisk. The kernel itselfs boots. When installing using FTP the bootdisk created works perfectly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Network install using NFS 2.Let installer create bootdisk 3.Boot from bootdisk Actual Results: The boot hangs at the line : RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Even after waiting a long time (a couple of hours) the boot didn't continue Expected Results: The bootproces should have continued Additional info: The machine is a IBM x440. The modules that will be present in the initrd will probably be ips,aic7xxx,bm5700 and ext3/jbd. When I installed using ftp the bootdisk worked fine.

Per: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/nos/redchat.html the x440 only works with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1
