Doesn't really help, but thank you. I have previously run red had six on
this machine with the same HDDs, same partition setup.
I did the text install last night instead (very happy to see the old install
method).
I get as far as it picking up my video card (s3 Trio 64V+), and then I get
type 11 errors telling me to restart my machine. Red hat attributes this to
hardware probelms, which I find ridiculous, as my hardware has been fine
before for red hat.
I have turned off the cache from the bios (as per redhat's suggestion), and
still get the type 11s.
I have 80megs of RAM, so I am going to take out the 2 8s and see what
happens.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
