IBM Netfinity 5000

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    I have an old Netfinity 5000 server that used to run WinNT and I'd 
like to install Fedora on it, any "recent" version would do (basically, 
from 10 up).  I started with a Fedora 12 DVD and it booted partway ... 
froze, then the screen said 'Cannot find root partition.'  So I decided 
to try a Fedora 10 disc instead, same result.  Tried using an F10 LIVE 
KDE disk, same thing.  It just won't boot up.

    Hardware wise, it has 2 SCSI drives in it, and an IDE DVD drive.  A 
dual head Matrox card has been put in to replace the original planar 
video on the board.  Any suggestions where I should start diagnosing 
this beast?  Thanks!
