| |
I have this strange problem with the kernel hanging while it's being read from the hard drive at boot time. It starts to read it then the system completely hangs at about 2/3 through loading.
I am running EnGarde Linux when this happens, however I have tried RedHat 8.0 as well. With RedHat it won't let me even begin to boot and it complains there is not enough memory (1GB in the machine). I am fairly certain both these issues are the same.
Originally I thought maybe I downloaded bad ISO images, but the MD5 sums matched. Then I checked for a bad CDs, dumped them and the ISOs matched.
The hardware is an Intel SE7501WV2 motherboard with dual Xeon processors, an Adaptec 2010S with four hard drives configured in a RAID 1 array and 1GB of ram.
I have tried playing around with a number of different BIOS settings and haven't gotten anywhere. This may possibly be a problem with the RAID controller since it boots both the EnGarde and RedHat installation kernels from the install CD's without any problems at all and both installations go through without issue.
Thanks, -Nick
