Thanks for your suggestion. I ended up turning off power management in the BIOS and that allowed my system to boot. For future reference, where are the boot command line options documented. I looked through the installation manual that came with my copy of RedHat but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help,

David Betz

Pardon, do *what*?

Ah... The quote is somewhere below. ;-)

Doesn't make much sense because we read from top to bottom.

So:

I just finished installing RH 8.0 on a Compaq Presario 2266 (266mhz
processor) and the installation process went okay. The problem is
that it hangs when trying to boot the newly installed system. The
last line displayed is:

apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16)

Any idea what can cause this? Is there a way around it to get the
system started?
Try turning APM off.

Try booting with "linux apm=off" which means, if you have GRUB, go
into edit mode with key 'E' and append "apm=off" to the kernel line,
then boot with key 'B'.
