Angry Redhat & HP NetServer E40 compatibility


I have a HP Netserver E40. It comes with an Adaptec SCSI card and a small 4.3Gb drive. I have previously loaded Redhat 7.3 onto it with no real problems. But now I wanted to upgrade it to FEDORA RC3 or even RH 9.0. Either one will run through the full install and complete successfully, but when it boots up, it gets to the line "Uncompressing Linux.... Ok, booting the kernal" then it just reboots.
This just keeps looping like this.
I have removed the SCSI card and drive and used a 20Gb IDE drive, and removed all other cards leaving the bare system.
I have tried Minimal install, full install, Redhat 9.0, FEDORA RC1 & 3, NOVELL SUSE. All with the same result.
Is there something that I can do to work around this? Id really like a newer OS on this box
