What have you changed since you last successfully booted the machine? You might try running a memory diagnostic. MemTest86 is very nice, and free. <http://www.memtest86.com> > Searching the web leads to references to rebuilding the kernel ...

RHL 8.0 switched to Apache 2.x, which was a major upgrade, and broke a *lot* of stuff. From what I've read, fixing things generally doesn't need a major overhaul, but rather a lot of small changes, but that is still something you do not want to do on a production machine. What makes you think installing RHL 9 would solve the problem, anyway? -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
