Dear Thomas,
		I don't think redhat will utilize the two cpu's, this
I believe and could be wrong, needs to be coded into the kernel. Linux
at this point in time doesn't support dual processors...As for you
main problem this is happening before the linux kernel starts at all.
Therfore there could be a problem with the hard disk drive setup; I
have had this problem before and recall reinstalling lilo to fix it.
