Hi I installed rhel 3 using a cdrom in the normal way but without installing the bootloader. The problem is that it won't boot up. Below is the bootup messages, as you can see it only goes as far as freeing unused memory, then it stops. Any ideas on this? xen_blk: Initialising virtual block device driver xen_net: Initialising virtual ethernet driver. md: md driver 0.90.1 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 256 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP established hash table entries: 4096 (order: 4, 65536 bytes) TCP bind hash table entries: 4096 (order: 3, 49152 bytes) TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 4096) Initializing IPsec netlink socket NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. kjournald starting.
