Bigfoots are crap, but they generally work, they are just slow. The
problem here is that DMA is failing. If you have the option, turn it off
in the BIOS (IDE DMA.) That should solve the problem. If there is no
option to turn it off in the BIOS, you might have to go poke round the
redhat site to find a option to disable it/or it may be a kernel option
you can pass on the boot command line - this is more likely. Utilise
