Re:RedHat 7.1 hangs at "Starting kswapd" during boot

I am not at home right now, but I will check things out when
I get home.

Basically, I just "hit next" and accepted all the defaults in
the anaconda setup.  One of the selections was to let setup automatically
partition everything and auto-create the file systems--no messing
with fdisk.  I have no problems with fdisk, I just wanted to
see if the auto-setup was truely automatic.  Anyway, the option
I chose specified that everything would be erased.  I assume
that this means that all existing partitions would be destroyed
an new ones created.  Screen messages seemed to support that.

Unfortunatly, I can't even boot to see what partitions exist,
so I will have to go through the setup again (no big deal) and
copy down what partitions are created with sizes and will let
you know what I find.  (I guess I could boot in "rescue" mode
from the CD and run fdisk to see.  I'll do that.

As an aside, the thing I find most humorous is that the installation
session, which RUNS UNDER LINUX!, booted just fine and ran in
a fully graphical mode.  I find it funny that the setup could
boot, but the installation couldn't.
