Hi everyone,

Now I'm a real newbie to Linux...
And, got a question...
I installed Red Hat 5.1 on a old machine.
It has a P166, 96Mb Ram, and a hard drive of 514 Mb, witch I devoted entirely to Linux.
According to what I read, this should be enough.
The installation seemed to work correctly.  All went as sayed in the manual and 
textfiles.
But (of course, a but)...
When the machine finaly rebooted, I found out that it did not boot..
"PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT" was the message witch came on and on and on...
I have the impression that the system does not recognize the hard drive at boottime 
any more, because the BIOS SETUP still does.
The boot floppy works, so maybe there is a way around.
Is it possible that this is a problem with the parameters of the drive (you know, 
cilinders, heads and so on) ?
What's the way around ?

Many thanks in advance,

francis
