Linux install problem and the Asus NForce 220 motherboard

[muttley]

Booting 'Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)'

root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type x83
kernal/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda2
[Linuz-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xff8b0]

Error 28: Selected Item cannot fit into memory

press any key to continue
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what the message is trying to tell me

I have the Ausu NForce 222 board

This is Red Hat 7.3

If I put in a pci video card the error message is the same. (ATI rage XL pci 8 meg)
With the pci video card I can get the video screen to test at the end of loading Red Hat 7.3 with the integrated video I can't.

In another motherboard I own there are settings for extended memory but on this motherboard board, none.

My easy solution is to traded for another motherboard however I need to learn about linux also.
I have tried bruit force technique but loading so many times and changes is getting tiring. And its been on and off for over a month.

I'll post in some other forums in case one isn't frequented by someone with the answer. And Asus.

Try RH 8
When do you get this error? Is it during installation when it tries to boot off of cd like I think or at some other point?

Have you tried using the nVidia drivers for their nForce chipsets?

I don't know where to geet RH 8 I just seem 7.3 on the FTP places
I got Debian 8 but am having problems getting it on CD don't know why.

Nvidia drivers for the NForce seem to not be for the video but for 2 other things as patches.

Debian has not reached v8 and probably wont for 10 good years. RH 8 is out there. I have no clue what you are trying to say about patches. Forget the video, it isnt important right now.
