Re: RedHat 6.2 fails on Pentium 4?
I decided to install on a PIII system and then swap the disk. I have not done extensive testing yet, however so far it looks ok and it would be an acceptable workaround. I'm planing to go to 7.2 sometimes, but as we have 100 systems and lots of home grown software, this needs some planing and testing.

Re: RedHat 6.2 fails on Pentium 4?
Sorry, problem NOT solved !!! someone has changed the hardware on my test environment on the weekend, thus I was testing on a Pentium III this morning by mistake. To be more precise: Futjitsu-Siemens SCENIC L Pentium III, MB D1219, Intel 815: works fine Futjitsu-Siemens SCENIC L Pentium 4, MB D1327, Intel 845: fails I disabled the onboard LAN in the BIOS and pluged in a epro100 card. Again: The kernel seems to boot ok. Disks and LAN card are recognized and network can be access when using bootnet image.

Re: RedHat 6.2 fails on Pentium 4?
Why don't you install it using pIII and then put disk on the p4? Kernel might panic or something. Remember, Linux didn't work with Pentium 4's until recently. I don't think anything before RH 7.0 or 7.1 was P4 ready (due to the version of included kernel). -Statux ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: RedHat 6.2 fails on Pentium 4?
I got some install problems with rh61 end 62 on several machines, of the same kind as yours. I used to solve them by installing only the bare os, by editing the detailed package list and removing anything. Then, after booting the new system, I had to install manually all the packages I needed. Maybe you can try that ?

Did you know that there is an update diskette image did you install with that update disk? I think the python thing was one of the things that the update fixed.
