Help - Red Hat

[Peter Cheng]

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice.
Hardware diagnostic tests show everything is working fine before booting
up Red Hat AS 3.0.

A problem that widespread smells like a hardware failure.  I'd start
by pulling and reseating all cards and memory sticks.  Then run
memtest86 from your CD (if it's there - if not go to
http://www.memtest86.com/ and get it).  If it's still flakey, you
could have a bad power supply.
