my roommate just installed linux redhat 6.2 and now when he goes to boot all that comes up on the screen is stage1. Any ideas?
 
Hi,

Is this using grub ( rather than lilo ? Grub has a stage1 and stage2 part but it seems a bit unlikely as I don't recall redhat installs ever giving the option to use grub. Are there other partitions on the drive(s) and where is the linux boot partition ?

No ther installs. This is a fresh install of linux on a clean harddrive
