Problems running Red Hat Linux 6.1 and 6.2

[Ken Gosier]

One possibility, if it is something to do with the hard
drive: I just upgraded from 6.0 to 6.2 also.

I noticed at the LILO config screen, it had the option
marked as default to read the hard drive in linear mode,
and it said that this mode was mostly used for SCSI drives.

Even though I'm IDE all the way. I don't remember it trying
to misread my hard drive like this on previous
installlations.
