Thanks to John Wyles, I've found a bypass that seems to
have saved the day:
describes, with minor changes needed, the simple
steps to replace my existing RHEL with FC4T2 without
trauma.
As he warns, it's kind of a one shot deal, but in my
case well worth the risk if only to silence the local microsoft
minions.
Still hoping for an answer as to why FC4T2 has stopped
booting on Dell Latitudes...
Onward!

Subject: FC4T2 Hangs on boot. What incantation to upgrade RHEL 3WS to FC4T2?
Similar to other (unanswered) posts in the April archive re: boot failure on Dell Latitudes, I'm just getting the initial F1-Main…F5-Rescue option list and nothing else but a '.' when I enter anything on a freshly burned FC4T2 ISO.
Is there a Command Line option to upgrade from the RHEL 3 WS installed on it to FC4T2 that might otherwise launch the upgrade process?
Yes, I'm an uninformed enthusiast and just my luck, I'm trying to get this installed among a bunch of M$ cheerleaders.
Any insights or suggestions greatly appreciated, as always.
