Hello,

After fresh installation of RH7.2, when start up, it
appears to hang at "Configuring kernel parameters",
but it can still can get into and out of sleep. Ctrl-C
helps to get pass it.

Then the following message is displayed:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
/etc/rc.d/rc: /var/run/runlevel.dir: Read-only file
system Updating /etc/fstab failed to open
/etc/fstab.NEW: Read-only file system    [FAILED]

And it then wait a long time after "Starting system
logger".

Finally it shows:
INIT: Id "2", respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
then a line for Id "5", "6", "1", "4" ..... and never
ends.

My PC details:

486 DX2, 32MB

IRQ   devices
1     keyboard
3     com2
4     com1
5     NE2000 compatible NIC
6     Floppy controller
7     com3 (modem)
8     RTC
10    sound
11    AHA-1540 SCSI adapter
13    numeric processor
14    HDD controller

1.7GB SCSI drive on ID 0
237MB SCSI dirve on ID 1 (128MB used as swap
partition)
DVDROM on primary IDE (for installation)

X Windows is not selected for install. Installation
using either "expert" or "text" mode.

Installation completed with no errors. Tried a number
of different ways of installation e.g. choosing min.
or default packages, using GRUB or LILO, etc., all
result the same.

Thank you for your kind advice.
Young
