I dont have an answer for you but I do have the same issue with a Dell
Inspiron 7000 laptop with a 8 gig hard disk drive.  I cannot get past the
point of entering  a root password.  Is there some other way to get REdHat 6
installed besides always stopping at the LI prompt when booting or not
getting past entering a password in the setup?

I can get SuSE or CAldera working with no problem here.  Why would that be?
