Unable to install redhat E.S 4.0 in sata drive

[kannan]

Dear Sir,

Iam new to linux.

I have recently purchased a system for using Redhat E.S 4.0. My system configuration is AMD 64 3200+, Asus mother board M2N8-VMX, 512 MB DDR 2 RAM, 320 GB SATA II Hard disk.

The problem is I'm unable to install the redhat linux in this system, it says there is no hard disk found on your system. I searched on the net and found one command, "linux all-generic-ide noapic nolapic" I gave this command in the boot: It did not ask for the hard disk informations. The installation got completed without any problem. After restarting the system I received the error message like:

Bkrootdev: label / not found
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed : 22
umount /initrd/dev failed : 2
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init !.

Kindly do the needful.

Thanks in advance.

A.K. Kannan.
