Hi,
to avoid you a lot of time lost in such attempts...
I've the same problem (I also have an Athlon), and I was not able to install
R8.0 (I was able to install R7.0, instead).

I ask to the whole World, but the anwers didn't solve anything. The guys of
the RedHat support adviced to me a lot of "undocumented" options to be
passed at the boot prompt, but none of them proved to be useful. At last I
returned to my old R7.0. My regret concern the money I spent to buy the
RedHat package!
