ASUS P2B AGP Mainboard, 440BX AGPset, 233 Processor, 64M SDRAM,
4.3G UDMA Hard drive, ATX Turbo VGA 1M card, ATAPI CDROM.
Using Autoboot, all the hardware is dectected and it hangs with this message
               "Red Hat install init version 1.1 starting
                 mounting /proc filesystem failed

                 I can't recover from this"

I am stuck, If you have resolved this problem, Please email me at

Me too has a problem installing RH. I actually tried to install from CD-ROM
d:\dosutils\autoboot\ and it went right up to asking me to insert my RH CD in my
CD ROM drive but after that it just hang..there is no movement in my CD drive
(lights out) and only after press the cntrl-alt-del key then my system reboot...I
have MS-DOS only in my system....Anyone can help....I remember someone posted
here that Linux is a breeze when it comes to setup but I think its a load of bull
it's been fucking two days trying to installl....

You can't install from an LS-120 with any release of Redhat. The LS120
drives show up as /dev/hdx (IDE device) not as /dev/fd0 which is what
the installer is looking for.

Slap a 3.5" in there long enough to get yourself started. Once Linux is
installed your LS120 will work fine.

Try installing with the CDROM in the drive before you turn on the computer.
Worked for me....

I have the same problem but I have completely different specs!

apparently this works:

Just boot dos with a CDROM driver. Use the rawrite command to write the
boot.img file on to a floppy and use this floppy to boot from and install

..but I haven't gone home yet to try it out
