When booting after install (Redhat 8.0 or 7.3 or Mandrake 9), I get a lot of error messages in loop-> go so fast I had to use my digital camera to capture a screen to see the messages !

...
<c01b3192> vgacon_cursor [kernel] 0x192
<c01784e9> set_cursor [kernel] 0x69
<c017bb76> vt_console_print [kernel] 0x296
<c0117e76> call_console_drivers [kernel] 0x46
<c0114280> do_page_fault [kernel] 0x46
<c0108a14> error_code [kernel] 0x46

...

I unplugged the drives and booted from rescue disk -> the same. Changed video card -> the same.

My config: P4 + i845D, radeon 8500

Please help !

thanks

I installed Slackware and it works. Though, I would like to understand why Red hat is not loading.

Do you know if it's possible to start Linux with an option where you must confirm every step during load, like for MS Windows start w/ prompt mode ?

Otherwise, do you know which files, in what order are loaded by the system ?

Thanks for your help guys
