I don't know if I'm just the unlucky one here but I have not had success
with any of my installations.
Went to try the upgrade process on my laptop (HP OmniBook 5700 w/ RH72
currently working great) that process won't get past the initial kernel
initialization, stopping at:

Have tried everything I can think of here, but here is some additional data
that might help to figure this out. CD-ROM is not bootable so have to use
boot.img. Also, tried pcmcia.img. Same same. So I went out and did a
normal boot into 7.2 and watched the for the above sequence. See some
interesting hda info here also, but this is what is displayed:

Hmm... However it does go past this and continues to boot. Watching the
boot process I notice that there are a bunch of hda: lines that say
something but they go by to quickly so I can not catch them.
Anyone have a clue on what I should do next to get 73 to install?
----------------->>>>
So I guess after three days with no response from anyone that I'm out of
luck with RedHat 73...
Guess I will try SuSE and see if the problem is a cross distro one.
