Janyne, There are several possibilities here, depending on how the setup was done.
Do you still have a utility partition? Run fdisk /dev/sda to make sure it still exists. If you let the Red Hat installer take the entire drive, it would have deleted the Dell utility partition. If the utility partition is intact, you may still have a problem if it's not flagged bootable in fdisk. Typical installs flag the /boot partition as the default one to start. You can change that, but grub and/or lilo trickery may also be needed. Tell us more about your configuration, and I'll see if I can help.

I have run into a small problem with the Utilities paritition on these machines. I create the partition and I can boot from it fine. I install Linux and I can no longer boot from it. I don't know if that overwrote something or what. Have any of you run into this situation? -- Janyne Kizer CNE-3, CNE-4, CNE-5 Systems Programmer Administrator I NC State University, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Extension and Administrative Technology Services Phone: (919) 515-3609 _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug
