Re: URGENT AND MAJOR RH 7.2 Problems - PLEASE HELP

It's an Athlon XP (pal core) 1800+, 512MB pc133 sdram, abit kt7a, and a WD
40GB hd.

The ram just came back from K-Byte from an RMA, it's a brand new module. I'm
going to run HD diags to see if the HD's the problem.

Yeah, I also thought the errors were strange....

Bah, anyways, everyone hates kernel panics. ;)

Thanks Eric!
