I have just suffered from the same problem on a similar old Gateway PII 300-MHz box with a RIVA128 Graphics Card. A friend advised me to remove the Red Hat Graphical Boot (rhgb) option on start up - this cures the problem and allows the system to boot. Unfortunately now the X Server won't start so I assume the RIVA128 card isn't supported (I'll solve that separately) but at least I can log in now. I removed the rhgb setting by hitting <enter> as grub is booting, selecting the Linux kernel I want to boot, hitting <a> to amend the entry, deleting "rhgb" from the boot command and letting it continue. I then removed the same entry in /etc/grub.conf when I could login. I hope this helps someone else. Ian. P.S. Thanks to CGB for the advice.
