Arandir:
Do you have a way of checking your SDRAM? I recently had a problem
reinstalling Win95, and I found that one of my pieces of RAM was weak (not
fully bad, it just would not hold up under a load). I'm not a hardware
expert on this, but it might be something to look in to. Perhaps if your
RAM is two 64meg pieces, try loading with just one and then the other and
see if there might be a difference.
But as you said, it worked with Win9x. I don't know . . . Just a thought.

~Subject: Install problems with new computer
~
~
~I just built a new system. Windows runs okay, but the Redhat
~installation keeps dying on me. Here are the particulars:
~
~Motherboard: Iwill XA100
~CPU: AMD K6 350Mhz
~RAM: 128Meg SDRam
~
~What is happing is this: Linux boots up to the RH install program.
~Everything goes fine until the disk partitioning phase (using Disk
~Druid). At a random time during this phase, strange things will happen.
~Most error messages scrolls off the screen too fast to see. This was a
~red screen (red screen of death?). The one message I got that was
~different, was:
~ edit install exited abnormally
~ sending termination signals...done
~ sending kill signals...done
~ unmounting file systes...
~ /tmp/rhimage
~ /proc
~ you may safely reboot your system.
~
~Does anyone know what might be causing this? I don't want to take back
~every component I got, but am perfectly willing to exchange something
~that's flaky.
~
~And if there's more information I can supply you to help, let me know.
