Looking through all the material that comes up in google and any other
support area, shows that no one who has ever asked such a question as mine
really has much of an answer.
The best I have found is that there is some memory or bus error.
I simply want to know if I can use this machine or not for RH 6.1. Like I
said in my original message, I am willing to fix this problem in the machine
if it is fixable but I need to know what is causing the problem.
Does anyone have any experience with this problem or a similar machine as
the one I describe in my original post?
