this may or may not be a problem with my hardware setup, but that's what i was told in this thread: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/Forum4/HTML/009347.html
i installed red hat 7 a couple weeks ago, no problem, other than a couple issues with a dual boot. those got resolved and i was on my way. i reinstalled a couple times, just to get the practice and the last two times i did it, after the initial post-install reboot, it would start to load and hang up on "configuring kernel parameters". i got frustrated and formatted the partitions. then, last night, i tried to install mandrake 7.2 and i got the exact same problem. i'm not sure why red hat would install perfectly a couple of times, then start doing this. i'm even more confused that mandrake would do this right off the bat.
does anybody have any ideas? is there any documentation i could read through to help me with this?
i'm so newbie it's disgusting, so ANY info would be most appreciated.
thanks!!

p.s. - i've got a pentium 3 733, 384mb RAM, sb audio, generic cdrom, creative 8x4x32 cdrw, and a kingston NIC (if any of this helps)
