With much help and many files i have solved the issue: on my motherboard an Asus A7A266 i get an error: "kernel: i8253 count too high! Resetting.." the suggested fix which did work was to compile a 2.5 kernel on rh9. This i did but was unable to boot the system, i had compiled in framebuffer console, keyboard, and mouse, and whateve r else was needed, but it hung after the mkinitrd image was loaded. The solution was to update the mkinitrd as well as procvutils and modutils. Again, thanks to all. Dave.
