Hi,

This system is relatively new, it's an athlon 1.4 ghz, with 512 ddr ram.  I 
compared the lilo.conf files of the mandrake install, and the redhat 
install.

The following are in the mandrake install

The differences were:
vga=normal <- i knew this didn't make a difference
keytable=/boot/us.klt  <- figured it was keymapping
nowarn <- no idea what this is
ignore-table <- no idea what this is

now in the linux label part redhat didn't contain
append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi"
it had
append="hdb=ide-scsi"

Those are the only differences other than the timeout part, they both 
contained "lba32" as well.

Still no luck.  I never did add the append="quiet devfs=mount".  I wasn't 
sure what that was.  Any ideas?
