RH9 problems on windows VMware 4.x

["Brian Boyce" <terra_nocuus operamail com>]

Hi everyone.  I'm a new linux user, and redhat 9 impressed me so much with its polish and professionalism that I want to use it at home.  However the wife isn't ready to switch from windows just yet.  So, VMware lets me learn linux while still appeasing others.

Unfortunately, I can get a perfect install, but after it reboots after the install, it freezes once it gets to the 'updating /etc/fstab' part.  And, it even causes the entire machine to lock up (even windows).  

Any ideas?  I had to deal with the ext3 bug by switching the partitions to ext2.  Here's my hardware:

Athlon 1.4 GHz
512 MB ddr 266
Asus A7A266 motherboard
Elsa Gladiac GeForce 3
about 4 WD HDs.

Thanks for the help!

Brian
