Loading.: Internal Bootable DVD
Starting.: Internal Bootable DVD

ELILO boot: Uncompressing Linux... donen munu.
Loading initrd initrd.img... done

THEN it hangs or I get the an "ATI9"

What does this mean?

It's an ELILO boot, so it's an Itanium version.

Which version of RHE are you using? AS? ES? version 2.1 or 3? Which release (update 1, 2, 3) ?

This will help us track down possible problems.

I should have searched earlier.. Are you installing via a Serial console?

If so, this post is for you:

I am installing RHE AS ver3 update 4.

Also, it's a 64-bit itanium server.

Oh, this is a rx4640 itanium server and I am connecting using MP.

How do you check the console settings?
