new install hang after "setting hostname"

[geisj at pagestation.com (Jerry Geis)]

All,

I have a new install. software RAID-1. everything installed normal (2 - 
40 GIG IDE drives)
After install, reboot and the box starts the graphic boot,
then hangs on "setting hostname". After a few minutes it drops out of
graphic install and the last thing on the screen is "Checking root 
filesystem".
It then sets there FOREVER.

Any ideas? I have already re-installed from scatch and get the exact 
same thing.
