@Laptop4u, Try with the options. Press F1, F2, this will display the parameters you
can pass to the Kernel like 'Safe Graphics mode', acpi=off etc., Also if you have
Graphics card remove it. After installation ,add your GC , install the drivers & configure it.
You can try Fedora Core 5 or Ubuntu 6.06, or Suse 10.1. These are very good
distros.

It is a known bug in kernel of RHEL4. Start the install procedure with "maxcpu=1" (without quotes) option.

@Laptops4u, why you use RHEL 4 ? RHEL is meant for enterprise segment. You can
try Fedora, Ubuntu or Suse.

HI,
I Found out the problem. Problem was with my on board sound card.
FYI if any hardware is not supporting rhel will just give you kernal panic error and halt the system. it will never tell you where is a problem in log files.
Any ways thatnx a lot for help.
