Greetings:

I am having a problem installing RH Linux 6 on a compaq deskpro 2000.

The system is configured as follows:

Compaq Deskpro 2000 5166
72 MB RAM
1.44 MB Floppy
disk 1 1.2 GB
disk2 8 GB
24x IDE CD-ROM
PCI Ethernet (not sure what yet)
Embedded Cirrus Logic Video (not sure what yet)

When attmepting to boot using the boot.img image,  I have a problem.

I see boot:
Loading initrd.img ..... Boot Failed

I thought it might be a bad floppy, so I created another, and it behaves the
same way.

Can anyone suggest any pointers?

Chris
