Hi,
I had an Athlon 800MHz (chipset Via82... on motherboard) which got
burned.
I bought a Pentium 4 1.5 GHz with mother Intel D845WN.
When I try to boot the same linux I had installed, it simply reboots,
but I can install a new linux distribution (RH, Slackware, etc.).
Linux: Red-Hat 7.2 (well, ..... I wanted to be comfortable really
quickly),
kernel 2.4.10 (default kernel, no recompilation made)
It reboots after writing:
"Uncompressing kernel .......................
OK, now booting the kernel" (or similar).
How may I find out what's wrong? Is it possible to debug this problem?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi - your Red Hat installation will have used the Athlon-optimised
kernel by default, so it will not boot on a non-Athlon machine. You will
probably need to boot from a boot floppy, mount your filesystems, and
install a new i686-optimised kernel RPM. Or compile your own kernel on
another machine and get it in there.
I can't immediately give you the full details - look at Red Hat's
documentation or other help on the web....
Cheers
