After installation, the boot process stopped just after choosing kernel (the default) in GRUB, the last message was
Starting up...
I assembled some details of my hadrware, mainboard and disks, also output from fdisk.
ASUS P3V4X, chipset Apollo Pro 133A
Primary Master WDC WD205BA
Type AUTO
Cylinders 1024
Head 255
Sector 63
PIO Mode 4
ULTRA DMA Mode DISABLED
Secondary Master ASUS CD-S250/A
Secondary Slave NONE in Setup, however there is WDC AC23200L
Graphic card on AGP MGA G200 AXP
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2495.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help):
Disk /dev/hda: 20.5 GB, 20525137920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2495 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

The installation was to /dev/hda3 . This is the output from 'fdisk /dev/hda':
