Hello you all redHat Lovers !!

I have a big problem installing RH 9.0, or should I say : not
installing.
This is the problem:
I have an old PC with a Pentium 1 processor 48 Mb RAM 1,2 Gb HD.
I'm using a bootdisk (created on another PC with rawrite.exe)
I see the "opening screen". Options F1 F2 F3 F4
I use install in text mode. It's probing the hardware, and then a
stackdump on my screen.
This message is showing:
code: 39 73 08 74 07 8b 5b 10 eb f2 89 f6 39 76 0c 75 f4 85 db 74
<0> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init !
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address: 000a00f8

My pc has an Intel Premiere PCI baby AT board with AMI bios (1994). It
has one 3.5" floppy, one HD WD caviar 1,2 Gb, one CD-ROM unit Pilips 8
speed, one VGA card using an ISA slot, one networkadapter card 3COM
3c905.

I've tried the kernel option: Linux mem=48M noprobe, but nothing
seems to work. Is my hardware not compatible with RH 9.0 ?

I'm not sure what i can do now (besides getting myelf some new
hardware).

Does anyone have a clue ?
Greetings,
Rob
