I have a Dell Optiplex 260, a P4 box with 1 GB of memory. It's been

RHEL4 installation to this machine and boot it, the kernel panics.
Knoppix will not boot either. Memtest86 ran overnight without any errors.
I'm flummoxed! Any ideas?

Hello Steve,
I have a similar problem with HP xw9300

When the prompt is displayed: boot: _
At the boot prompt, enter linux acpi=off

I tried that - no improvement; it still blows up.

Any further information given at boot time? What are the last messages
given?
