Hi I'm new at linux. Currently I am trying to install RedHat linux 4.2
on a new machine. The machine consists of

ASUS TX97-E motherboard with 64Mb EDO RAM
2.1 and 5.1 Gb Maxtor harddrives
Adaptec 1542CP SCSI card
Digital networkcard (tulip chipset)
Matrox Millenium 4Mb graphics card
Pioneer 24X CDROM
Segate 8 Gb DAT drive
 
So far I have been getting a heap of warnings about unkown PCI
devices (this has been explained to me as being that the linux kernal
2.3.0 does not recognise the intel TX430 chipset yet, I have been told
this is harmless),the other problem I have been having is that I get a
message saying can not open initial console after booting. After this
message is displayed the machine reboot's and does the same thing.
Has anyone come across this problem before, if so can you please help
me.
