Hi Guys,

I am having a strange problem.  When I boot into Linux, I get a
"CRC Error -- System Halted" error when vmlinuz is being loaded. The
strange thing is that it only happens sometimes; if I reset the machine
2 or 3 times in a roll, the kernel boots just fine.  No error once the
kernel got rolling, and no problem running anything including the
beautiful KDE.  I tried using several different kernel and even compiled
the latest 2.2.3 kernel just to test, but the same phenomenon keep
happening.  What might be the cause here? Could this be hardware related?
Here's my setup:

Cyrix P150+
128MB RAM
1.6 GB IDE HD
IDE CDROM
Logitech Mouse
Matrox Mystique

and I am running Linux Mandrake 5.3 with 2.2.3 kernel.  Please note that
this happens with the 2.0.36 kernel that came with mandrake as well.  I
can live with this error but it is annoying as hell.  Any help is greatly
appreciated!
