All,
I have a new install. software RAID-1. everything installed normal (2 - 40 GIG IDE drives) After install, reboot and the box starts the graphic boot, then hangs on "setting hostname". After a few minutes it drops out of graphic install and the last thing on the screen is "Checking root filesystem". It then sets there FOREVER.
Any ideas? I have already re-installed from scatch and get the exact same thing.

Boot by removing "rhgb quiet" as kernel parameters. This way you get more and hopefully helping output on console during bootup.

Have you checked all of the virtual consoles for any interesting error messages?
Also, #2 (or is it #3) is usually a shell prompt from which you can perhaps see what is running.
