I had a similar problem with 7.0 - probably because I installed extra
memory after I installed the software. I had to modify the boot
sequence to force RH7.0 to accept the full memory contingent.
Try rebooting and at the LILO prompt type in 'MEM=xxxxxxxxx' and replace
the x'es with the amount of memory reported at by the bios at power-up.
Then if this works, you can add the parameter so it will boot this way
all the time.

-- At 20, I was liberal, because I had nothing to lose and so much to gain. by 40, I was conservative, because I had so much to lose and so little to gain. Isn't it amazing what 20 years of hard work and experience will do for ones' point of view?--------------494B480B7024E14AFC3AF21F
