ashley: my first suspection would be memory problem, i.e., a bad chip. unfortunately, there are not (to my knowlege) a lot of good memory checking programs out there other than your computers post program. if you have set the "Quick Power On Self Test" to enabled (or whatever your motherboard's bios calls it), disable it at the next reboot. (voice of experience!)
assuming you have more than one dimm, you might try taking one out, and rerunning tripwire. keep swapping out the dimms until the problem disappears. now you have the bad chip, maybe. hope this helps.

You know, the farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing off this earth, uh, the darker it gets ... I think if you look at the color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on out, it's the shifting of color. We mentioned before about the stars singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors." -- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
