Corel

I have installed Corel Linux on my husbands computer but I'm having a
few problems.

When it is finished installing I end up with the following partitions -

	1 6 Gig (bootable) Primary partition fat 32
	1 6 gig extended partition containing
		1 3 gig fat 32 partition
		1 28 Meg linux root partition
		1 2.9 gig linux partition
		1 100 Meg swap partition

and the primary partition is no longer active. I have to boot from a
boot disk and go into fdisk and set the partition as active again,
thought I'd screwed it all up there for a minute.

Linux is there and installed but I can't boot it. I tried booting from a
Redhat boot disk but it gave a kernel panic and said it couldn't mount
the drive.

When I tried to install Redhat 6.1 on this machine it said the boot
partition was too big. I assume that means the primary partition.

How can I boot Corel Linux or alternatively how can I install Redhat and
start it with loadlin instead of Lilo (assuming this will fix the boot
problem)?
