Ok boyz and girlz I can't get dual boot to work on my system. I have
tried everything I can think of. At first I was trying to get a
dual boot to work (Win98SE and Red Hat 9). I have tried to dual
boot, then I tried to just install RH9 and then I found in my Unix
text book RH 7.2 with no luck below is my last attempt or at least
the message when it kicked me out. I mean it got to the point that it
told me that it told me it had loaded the RPMs and was installing the
packages.

install exited abnormally
sending termination signals . . . done
<6> md: recovery thread got woken up
md: recovery thread finished
sending kill signals . . . done
disabling swap . . .
/temp/hda5
unmounting file systems
/ mnt/runtime umount failed (16)
disabling /dev/loop 0 LOOP_CLR_ failed:16
/proc/bus/usb done
/proc done
/dev/pts done
/mnt/source done
/mnt/sysimage/boot done
/mnt/sysimage/dev/pts done
/mnt/sysimage/proc done
/mnt/sysimage
/mnt/sysimage unmount failed (16)
you may safely reboot your system now

I have gotten Win98 to install no problem, I even got to a point that
it said it was installed but it wasn't. I have tried to get help at
other forums but all I can get is well I got it to work or mine works
fine, no one who can tell me or give me any idea of what might be
wrong.
