Uncompressing Linux booting the kernel...hangs.

[Mukarram Syed]

Hi, 

I am sure people would have seen this.

I am trying to Kickstart a Dell PE1850.  I have connected a monitor/keyboard
to it.  When I Kickstart it I could load the image (vmlinux and initrd).
Then it says:

 

Uncompressing Linux.Ok

Booting the kernel

 

Then it hangs there.

Now after a couple of minutes when I type ALT+F3, ALT+F4 etc. going through
the virtual terminals, I see the installation process and then the Kickstart
completes.

But I don't see it on the first window.

 

I have disabled Console Redirection on the BIOS.  Is there something to do
with the terminal.tty stuff.

 

I have a similar issue going on with VMware installation with Kickstart as
well.  I can't type ALT+F3, ALT+F4 etc. going through the virtual terminals
on the VMware install.  And also the installs don't complete.

 

Appreciate the help.

 

Regards
