Now I have installed redhat 7.3 and boot via the floppy. When I made the linux.bin file and put it in the root partition and tried to boot into linux via the grub menu, it gave an error saying the following: Booting 'Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)' root(hd0,4) Filesystem type is ext2fs,partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hdc5 [Linux-bzImage,setup=0x1400,size=0xfa203] Error 28:Selected itemcannot fit into memory. Press any key to continue... can anyone tell me what have I missed?
