try changing your RAM. I faced similar thing which was ultimately solved by changing the memory chip.

I have just installed a SCSI CD-RW and a SCSI controller in my system. When I did the original install of RedHat 7.2 I used a IDE CDROM. I added the SCSI stuff after the install. When I boot up, the kernel sees the SCSI controller but does not see the Plexor SCSI CD-RW. I've used dmesg to verify this. The BIOS sees it fine and if I but a Linux boot CD it will try to boot off of it. Does this mean I have to recompile the kernel with SCSI CD support or is there another way? I've used this type of CD in other identically configured Linux boxes and it works find, but I have never added one after the install.
First off, is the SCSI controller driver loaded?  Since you added
the controller after you installed the OS, the installer didn't put
a command in "/etc/modules.conf" to cause the system to load the driver.
You can "insmod" the driver appropriate to your controller and then
see if the drive is found (e.g. use "cdrecord --scanbus").  If that
works, then add an "alias scsi_hostadapter drivername" line to the
"/etc/modules.conf" file to cause the driver to load when the system
boots.
For example, I have an Adaptec 2942U, so my modules.conf file has a
line, "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx" in it to force the driver to
load.

Thanks for the reply.  I have the same SCSI controller and I the same line
(alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx) in my modules.conf file.  However it is not
getting loaded on boot.  When I manually loaded it
(modprobe aic7xxx) everything started working.  I can mount my cd and read
from it.  Any ideas why it isn't getting loaded on boot?
Thanks

I'm not certain why that happens.  You could put a "modprobe aic7xxx" in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local to force it.  It's a cheap work around.

Could the SCSI module not be loading at boot time due to not having a initrd image specified in lilo.conf. Since I had no scsi controller or devices when I installed, it did create the image by default. Or am I on the wrong track.

The initrd image is only needed if something that is vitally necessary
to boot is modularized instead of built into the kernel (for example,
if the root filesystem was on a SCSI controller and support for
that controller was not compiled into the kernel).  It's a way of
permitting modules to get loaded even when the filesystem that has
the modules can't be mounted yet.  Since your root filesystem is on
IDE and IDE is built into the kernel, you don't need an initrd.
I use a "modprobe aic7xxx" in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.  Looking at
the startup scripts, even the network code does a modprobe of the
appropriate ethernet module before starting up.  Since SCSI isn't
vital to booting the system, stuffing it into the /etc/rc.d/rc.local
script is fairly clean.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

what does 'ls -al  /dev/hdd' output? And what about
'ls -al /dev/cdrom'. And what does the /etc/fstab
entry for 'hdd' look like?

There is an Errata document about CD-ROM mount issue is posted in RH
Bugzilla site.
Running the command as root "depmod -ae" should solve this issue. For more
details pls visit http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.2/ and
hit the 'Bugzilla 55071' link.

read this article carefully! it explains much!
http://www.zepa.net/hypermail/elug/hardware/2001/07/0014.html
i myself had bought a promise controller and finally replaced it with
a 3ware 6410 controller - it runs best now on a dual amd machine!

Hi Veena Gudi,

Start your system with cdrom, at boot:

boot: linux root=/dev/hda1

If your system will start normally(as per ur mail), login as root

# vi /etc/lilo.conf

make sure in case following entries are proper

boot=/dev/hda ==>
then in image section for linux
you will find something like this
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-12  ==> no. may be different
        label=linux
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda1  ==> is important
finally save file
and run following command
# lilo -v
then try to boot with harddisk,
your system should start normally
Good Luck
Regards,
Santosh Pasi

Hi..
        Thanks for ur reply...
But when i boot with

boot: linux root=/dev/hda1
        .. it does not give a kernel panic .. but it restarts the system ..
        It reaches the point where in i get messages like..
        probing for Mouse.. successful
                and other Hardware recoginiton and then restarts system?
why does that happen?
