Since you appear to be able to do the install with the 2.2 kernel
(alternate boot disk), a solution for you might be to install the
"kernel22" package containing a 2.2 kernel, to boot from
afterwards (even if it doesn't support as many things as the 2.4,
it should enough for you since you use an older machine).
This "kernel22" package is on the contrib disks. Since you have
only 64 MB of memory, you won't be able to install from it during
install (you can only install from first CD when <= 64 MB). Once
you finished the install, use the same "alternate" boot floppy
you did the install with (or the alt1 target you talk about), hit
F1 at boot and type "rescue".
Once the rescue is booted, go to the console, type in "chroot
/mnt", then mount the CD containing the contrib, and install the
kernel22 package from there with rpm (you might need to mount
/proc before being able to install with rpm, but I'm not sure).
Then you also need to add the kernel-2.2 target to your
bootloader, don't forget it.
Once you're finished, type "sync", then type "exit" to exit from
the chroot and then "reboot" (don't forget to do so, so that your
partitions will be unmounted before the reboot).
Hope this helps.

for the third time now, too bad this web site hates me as much as your OS.
I Have :
pentium 133
64 MB SDRAM
creative quad speed CD
d-link NIC
Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 Pro
when I initially tried install i made a boot disk, i had to of course with this
old computer, and after teh splash screen appears and it begins toward loading
the install program, it gets to either detecting or mounting hdc(cdrom) and then
i get a bad EIP error, a page full of stuff i can't interpret, kernel panic..
So i start looking on your site and 9.1 errata isn't available, so i'm looking
at 9.0 errata and see there is an updated cdrom.img file that fixes a missing
floppy.o file problem so i tried using that and it got me into installation, but
then after selecting my mouse it reports a missing file in /lib, i'm guessing
this is because it is a 9.0 not 9.1 disk, and asks me to make a new one, so then
i found the alternate cdrom image on the install cd and tried that, this time i
get to install, everything in install seems to go through flawlessly, however,
after rebooting and LILO, i get the exact same error in the exact spot as using
the original cdrom.img boot disk. I noticed with both of the other 2 disks that
it seems the floppy is next in line after hdc and figure one of those 2 is the
problem but don't know, or i wouldn't be submitting a bug hoping for a fix. I
believe that alternate image uses a different kernel and I did see that one
reported that one kernel (alt0 i believe) wouldn't install, and (alt1) the other
would install properly but not boot afterwards, however it was on an older
release and had been asked to check if it still existed, so i am going to submit
this anyways, because every other time, if i look at what it thinks might be
similar i can't submit and nothing is really similar to my problem.
