Tripple boot.. sun, RH & XP ? Wow..
Anyway what is your H/Ware specs. What error does it shows when you install RH ? Have you make the correct partition for RH ? Boot partition " / " , Swap Partiotion ? I see from what you post that you reserve 20 for XP 5 for sun and 5 for RH each, for RH how many Swap space did you reserve ? I cant see that on your post. Did you reserve one for it ? Pls post back with some additional information that could help us to identify your problem much more clearly...
