Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 Stuck at loading bootfile

[xancatal]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to load Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4, 32-bit on virtualbox. It all works up until the point when the bootfile is supposed to be created, right at the end of theload. The VM freezes. After power cylcing the VM, the system goes into command line, and it appears as if the installation was not completed.

Has anyone seen this? I'm running virtualbox on an Ultra-20, Solaris 10 05/08 an VB 1.6.2

Isn't RHEL server expecting PAE to be enabled?

What's PAE?

To fix it I simply booted in the non smp kernel and it works just fine.

btw,

I'm running on a 17" mac book pro with the intel Core duo processor

JA JA JA Stefan... You're sense of irony, and your sarcasm overwhelms me. Wait a minute, I think I'm going to have another laugh seizure.... JA JA JA JA JA

Sarcasm aside, I think google is amazing squared and wiki is just amazing. So googling wiki PAE gives you it in one hit. I've got into the habit of doing this before asking any Q. I find it lot less embarrassing than having the piss taken

I don't get embarassed easily TerryE. In fact, I'm rather shameless.
