There is no such thing as "RHEL 5.0". There is "RHEL 5", and the
update point releases 5.1, 5.2, etc. And even those are split into
"server" and "client versions", which drives me nuts.

Consider testing with a CentOS 5.4 installation DVD, just to see if
the latest RHEL kernels work on your hardware.

A wild guess:

The Windows partition is at the start of the disk, and the Linux
boot files are so far up in the disk that the BIOS cannot access
them.

How is the disk partitioned?

If by some chance you really mean RH5 from ten years ago. I had no problem
with dual boot with Win 3.1. If that is what you really mean I can only
suggest getting the current Fedora 12 so there is a common reference point for
discussion. You know you are getting old when you remember 5 beta was called
Cartman.

Doesn't a kernel panic require that the kernel is loaded and running ?
