hi everybody,
i am using RHEL-4, and PIV-2.8 1GB DDR,80GB HDD,
i was using this nicely for the past 5 months,now i can't to boot
properly.my system hangs after the HAL daemon.

if i start my machine in runlevel-3, i can get the following error,

Unknown Interupt or fault at EIP
00000246 00000060 C01040d3

it repeats 3 times, then it hangs.

i didn't install or remove anything recently. is this problem related to

Can you boot with a LiveCD just to make sure that there is no problem with the hardware.
