Actual Results: I rebooted and received the error 'GRUB Read Error' Expected Results: I expected that the installation would create the boot floppy, would reboot, and GRUB would be able to boot RHL 8.0. Additional info: I'm trying to install this on a Digital Equipment Corporation Venturis PC. This system uses a Phoenix Technologies Ltd. BIOS dated 01/15/98. Though the BIOS does include a setting for LBA, I wonder how complete the implementation is . . . .

Red Hat Linux 8.0 requires a Pentium processor or newer.
Thanks for the reply. I spent 1/2 an hour searching www.redhat.com, but can't find information on Red Hat's prior releases? Do any Red Hat distributions support 80486 processors? If so, from where can I download them? Thanks! tl
I'm not sure if it's officially supported, but Red Hat Linux 7.3 is the last version that shipped with an i386 kernel/glibc.
