Did you try  making installation boot disks and start installation from
them?
If you have enough disk space it is better to have a separate installation
rather than replacing  redhat.

 Hi All,

 When I try to install Debian 2.1 from the CD, the system hangs with
 the following error message:

 VFS kernel panic unable to mount root fs on 01:00

 I have tried various workarounds including:

 linux root=/dev/hdc

 which kind of worked but then ended up with unable to load initial
 console.

 This appears to be a common problem,
 however I have not seen a solution out there that has worked.
 Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks
