Error Loading redhat causes system to reboot over and over
Hi folks,

I tried to load a copy of redhat from CD to an HP6640C. The system reads the first disk and offers me a choice to use the graphic load or the text load. I selct either one and the system seems to start reading the disk then it reboots.
It does not give me any errors and except that the system cycles over and over again I.E. it reboots over and over.
I think it might have something to do with the system finding the boot sectore but not sure how to make sure.Any ideas?

Also The system looks something like this
LOADING:
LOADING VMLINUZ ...........
LOADING INITRD.IMG .............
Then it reboots...

When I tried this on a different machine it works just fine, I think it has somthing to do with the fact that this is an HP PAVILLION 6640C...

system-config-authentication

AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)

NAME

       authconfig-gtk, system-config-authentication - GUI utility for configuring user identity and system authentication services

SYNOPSIS

       authconfig-gtk [--nox] [--updateall] [--firstboot]

DESCRIPTION

       authconfig-gtk  provides  a  simple graphical user interface for configuring user identity and system authentication services.  It provides
       basic configuration options to handle NIS, LDAP, Kerberos 5, and Winbind client configuration.

OPTIONS

       If the --nox option is specified, authconfig command line utility is run instead of the GUI.

       The --updateall option forces overwriting of all configuration files not only the files affected by the changes made in the  user  interac-
       tion with the GUI.  This option can be useful in case the configuration files are broken by manual editing.

       The --firstboot option is to be used only when firstboot utility runs the GUI during the first setup of the system after installation.

RETURN CODES

       authconfig-gtk returns 0 on success, non zero on error.

       authconfig(8), system-auth-ac(5)
