[TriLUG] Boot problem RHEL WS 3.0

[Glenn Meyer]

I have a Compaq Armada M700 (laptop) that I am installing Red Hat WS 3.0 
on.  The install goes very smoothly until the reboot.  Very early in the 
boot process, the system hangs every time immediately following....

"Total HugeTLB memory allocation, 0"

Googling hasn't produced anything I can comprehend.  I find nothing on 
Red Hat's site.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thank you!
