Re: your mail
Because I already had the cd's and wanted to see if I could get Linux to
run on this laptop.
I've found nothing that says a newer kernel fixes this problem on this
model of laptop, maybe it will work if so thanks.
For anyone else who doesn't know how to add this to grub it is: kernel
/vmlinuz-"kernel ver." ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi noathlon

Why in the world would you want to install a version of Red Hat that is
not current?

I'm sure it did, with the *ancient* kernel that shipped with Red Hat
7.2. Upgrading to an errata kernel would solve the problem nicely as
well.

I'm going to play BOFH here. I won't tell you how to "fix" a problem
that you shouldn't be having. Go download Red Hat 7.3 and upgrade (or
reinstall).

Or at the *very* least update your system. You don't want an un-patched
Red Hat 7.2 system on the Internet. (For that matter, you don't want an
un-patched Red Hat 7.3 system or anything else un-patched on the
Internet.)
