Problem w/PCI hardware

I have tryed to install RedHat 4.0 (kernel 2.0.18) and 4.1 on a PC
Pentium:

CPU: AMD K6-PR200
Chipset: Intel VX
VGA: Creative 3d Blaster
SoundCard: Creative AWE 64
CD Reader: IDE 24x
Network card: NE2000 compatible
HDDs: QUANTUM FIREBALL 3.2Gb
CONNER PERIPHERALS 400Mb

Any attempt to run installation diskettes on the system results in
reset or halt the system during kernel configuration.
The problem seems resides when it is probing or trying to figure out
how are partitioned the harddrive.
Note: my PCI isn't recognised and at the beginning (when test of PCI
occures) my VGA and my PCI controller are detected as unknown (followed
by the vendor and device id).

Any tips? (should I hope in a later release?)

I tryed to start the system with a version of compiled kernel and
it crashed (as well as any older release of kernel).

Thanks in advance for any help.
