You
might try one other variation:
I seem
to recall having to do that with a Proliant 2500R with a gig of memory.
What Proliant are you using?

Thomas,
I appear to be dealing
with a different issue on my Proliants -- if I boot from the install CD
with:
linux mem=exactmap mem=640k@0 mem=1023M@1M
the boot
actually dies even earlier -- on "loading linux" rather than on "loading the
CCISS drivers".
However, the fact that others are having success
with the Proliant for RHL9 and FC1 gives me hope. Maybe I just need to
play with my firmware settings -- what worked for me on RHL7.1 may not be
working for later versions. The Proliant certainly gives you ENOUGH
firmware settings to play with :-).
Thanks for the
tip.

Yeah, I had a bit of trouble after 7.x too. I think that
there was some
memory line that I used for 8.0 and 9, but IIRC, FC1 worked
fine for me.
