System hanging at boot

[Charlie Farinella]

I have a problem with a server here that is very important to us.

It's a RH 7.2 system.

I tried to restart the machine and it hangs at:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 240k

Searching the web leads to references to rebuilding the kernel, which
I'd rather not do.  What are the ramifications of running the RH 9
upgrade?  We have a number of Perl apps running on it, custom
Apache/mod_perl etc., I'm afraid a bunch of stuff will be broken.

I could use some advice.

thanks,
