Red Hat 8.0 Woes

[Kevin]

I want to dual-boot Windows 2000 and Red Hat 8.0 onto a spare machine. I installed Windows 2000 with no problems. When I install Red Hat 8.0, I can't install under the GUI, so I used Text mode. Selected all the correct options, including GRUB and it installed successfully. However, when I try and load Red Hat through GRUB, i get an "Error: 28" saying there is not enough memory. Yet, there is 256MB of DDR and a Swap file. I'm probably on my 5th install of Red Hat because of issues with my GeForce 2 MX (or so I think). I figured I could use text login and install the NVIDIA RPM but unfortunately, I can't get passed GRUB. I am able to load Windows 2000 SP3 perfectly though.

Any ideas?

The HB-95.4 was always a problem. I have found going back to the HB-95.2 has solved most of the problems I had with the .4. But that could just be me.

How much ram is GRUB reporting to have?

What hardware? At what point does GRUB stop and give you the error? Do you know the exact error? Have you tried a BIOS update(especially the p19 bios if you have a d850emv2)?

Yup

An impulse buy at the last Computer show. I had all these spare parts, so I bought an Asus A7N266-VM, Athlon Xp 1700 and a KVM...
