kernel 2.6.9 problem

[Ionut Radu]

Hi,

I have installed recently Fedora Core 3 on a computer with a SATA harddisk.
After instalation the kernel does not boot. (RedHat nash... is the
last message that
appears and after that nothing happens).

I tried to install another kernel from a cd by booting with the rescuecd but
I cannot mount the cd. I have a ASUS DVD-RW that works only with ide-scsi and
this driver is not present on the rescuecd.

The computer does not have a network/modem card so the only solution is to
install another kernel from a cd.

How do I solve this?
What kernel do you recommend?

Thanks.
