    Hey NG,

    I've just downloaded three ISO Images from RedHat 9 (i386) and
    installed it on my machine. My harddrive setup is following

    hda1 - Windows 2000
    hdb1 - NTFS for Windows backup files
    hdb2 - ext3 /boot
    hdb3 - ext3 /
    hdb5 - swap

    The Setup of RedHat did the partion job. But something was wrong with
    the /boot partition. An information window told me, that I maybe will
    need a bootdisc (which I created). When I am booting now my PC, the
    GRUB booter is showing me the possibilty to boot win2000 or Linux.
    While the boot sequenz of Linux the System is hanging after starting
    cups (whatever this is).
    The message: <0> kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler; In
    interrupt handler -not syncing; appears and I can't do anything. Over
    the bootdisc it's as well not possible to start Linux. The computer
    says only: boot failed.
    Well, and when I set up the partions by myself the same thing happens:
    When I want to create the /boot partiotion the Wizard is saying that
    my drive is not a bootable device.
    The master drive is on IDE0 and the slave on IDE1 on the master cable.

    I was looking allover all NGs and could not find any solution. Maybe
    someone here can help me out. Yes I know, the best way is to format
    C:/ and install there RedHat...lol (but I need Winblows for a few
    programs)

    Thanks.
    Wuerstchen
