I have just installed Red Hat 7 and it hangs on the following boot line "Freeing unsed Kernel memory: 64k Freed" at this point it just hangs and goes no further.

Thanks

This might sound a bit obvious, but do you have enough disk space left to run linux? How did you partition your drives when you set it up? It sounds disk related, unless you have a serious hardware problem (ie. memory).

I just installed RH7 also and it did not work right. It would not allow logins and would not allow an editor to write to the hard drive even when booted in single user mode. I found out that they set linear mode by default during the install. I did the install again being sure linear mode was not set. This time it worked.
If you don't have SCSI drives on your system, I suggest you do the same.

I appear to have been incorrect. My problem was that I installed with kerberos and LDAP enabled which disabled my ability to login. This was due to the fact that kerberos and LDAP were not setup properly. Sorry for any inconvenience.
