booting problem in RHEL4.2 with win xp..

[victoryalwyz]

hi,
i installed linux RHEL 4.2, with a dual boot with win xp.
when i boot into linux from boot loader, it stops after..

"Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting"

and doesn't boot any further. even if i leave it for hours, it stays at the same point...

what's wrong with my installation??

Is the failure to boot on first re-boot after installation or have you been able to use your Redhat? How do you boot your system? Do you xp bootloader or Grub? What is your drive/partition setup? Do you have an installation or Live CD you could use to get some information on your system? If so, run the command 'fdisk -l' as root user to start and post.

it ocurred on first reboot after the installation...
i use grub as boot loader..

/boot 109MB
/ 78000MB |On
swap 4000MB |Extended Partition

If you have a Live Cd, load it and run the command: fdisk -l as root (lower case letter L) and post results. Also, post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst files. It might be /boot/grub/grub.conf, not sure.

Did you install Grub to the master boot record during the installation? Do you get any errors or messages when the boot fails?

Select Recovery Mode option in GRUB Menu. Does RHEL boot up and drop at Shell Prompt?
Which Graphics Card do you have?
