I booted from a Linux boot disk, the two lilo options are 'linux' and
'rescue'.I have tried both and with both I get a Kernel panic message.
I have not yet been able to use RH6 in GUI due to hanging of my
system.Previously I have used RH5.2 and I was able to use the KDE GUI
directly.Now when I reinstalled RH55.2 and when I change to runlevel 5 in
/etc/inittab my system freezes.I am using the same graphics card cirrus
logic 5446,hdd.I have recently changed the M/B -KOB ZX-AT and to a PII 350.
Any help will be highly appreciated
