Re: Unable to install RHEL3 U9 on a AM2-based Mainboard

["Paul Krizak" <paul krizak amd com>]

We had issues getting RHEL3/4 to install on newer AMD-based hardware for 
various reasons.  Try one of these on the kernel cmd line:

* noapic nolapic acpi=off
* pci=conf1
* nmi_watchdog=0

If you still can't get the kernel to boot, post the output here and we 
can take a look.

What specific kind of hardware are you trying to install on?
