Bob,

What error do you get without the mem=384M option? If it is a signal 11 
then you might have some bad ram above 384M. In this case try running 
memtest86 from www.memtest86.com.

There are a collection of installation issues that may help at 
http://www.rhil.net/docs/rhil-guide.html and there are some references 
somewhere specifically on installing RedHat on a laptop (I don't have 
one so I don't know the reference, a google search should reveal it).

Hope this helps

Chris
