I don't have VPC 2004, but if you can use the installer CD's rescue mode, then maybe you could try something like this (add intermediate steps as needed -- you'll see what I mean once you read the instructions): 1. Boot into rescue mode. 2. Use rpm -ivh --oldpackage to install a kernel from RHEL 4 beta 2, like this one: http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/beta/nahant-beta2/en/WS/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-1.648_EL.i686.rpm I just realized, you could also try installing an i586 FC3 kernel (I guess I would do "rpm -e --nodeps kernel" then "rpm -ivh /wherever/blah/kernel-2.6.9-1.667.i586.rpm" or something like that). Both the i586 FC3 kernel and the i686 RHEL 4 kernel lack 4G/4G. VMware's virtualization method makes it run really slow with 4G/4G. It's possible that Virtual PC's virtualization/emulation method makes it just blow up... -Barry K. Nathan <barryn@xxxxxxxxx>
