Newbie, can't install.

["Jeremy Warren" <jwarren berkshire net>]

OK,

So I am new to Linux, and have been told that this is the way to computing
Nirvana, but I am starting to lose my patience...I am currently running dual
boot Win98 and Winnt 4.0 without any issues on this hardware.  They both
installed no problem.

I am installing RH6.1, and since I don't know where the problem lies I will
give everyone way too much information...Hopefully someone will see
something in here.

Hardware:
SOYO SY-6BA+ Motherboard
PII350
128MB RAM
COM1&2 Embedded
EPP LPT1 connected to IBM 4019 laser printer
Dual embedded IDE Controllers Controller Ultra DMA/33Mhz
	IDE1 2 4GB HDD
	IDE2 2 4GB HDD
Initio 9100UW/SCSI Controller dual channel
	Channel1 3 2GB HDD -Channel 1
	Channel2 SCSI CD-ROM, SONY DAT drive
Video:Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee
Audio:Creative Labs Live!
Modem:Zoom 56K LT Internal (COM3)

Current Partitioning:
IDE1(BOOT ACTIVE)-2GB Fat16/Windows 98
                 -2GB Future Home of Linux OS
IDE2             -4GB Fat32/Windows 98
IDE3             -2GB Fat16/Windown NT 4.0
                 -2GB Future Home of Linux Swap, etc
SCSI0            -2GB NTFS/Windows NT 4.0
SCSI1            -2GB NTFS/Windows NT 4.0
SCSI2            -2GB Future home of Linux stuff

Currently boots to IDE 1 with NT loader with menu options for NT or Win98.

Downloaded boot & update disk RHEA-1999:047-01 and ran rawrite per FAQ.

Boot via floppy and the install starts, prompts for language, mouse, etc.
when I select an Install type (Gnome, Server, Custom, etc) and hit enter
(any selection same result). The install blows up.
Alternate consoles have no error messages that I can see just prior to the
reboot.
I get the same result if I use graphical install, text, or text expert.

Here is the message that I receive, did my best to keep capitalization
correct, however they layout on the screen is slightly different.
Note that the register/stack info is not listed to save space I can email if
required.
