Hi,
	You know, I had the same problem, and someone helped me, I will try to 
help you to. The problem is that the installer program of RedHat 5.2 has 
a bug 
while installing from a hard disque. You will find the update images 
(boot.img 
and supp.img) in the ftp site of RedHat. Don't use a mirrore site, (I'm 
not 
sure if they have the updates diquettes or not). The ftp site of RedHat 
is 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/ , look for the 5.2/images directory.
	Well, enjoy installing and using RedHat Linux 5.2. You will find it 
interesting.

	Abdellah
