Problem with linux



I running the same combo, 2.2.11 and RH 6.0. And was having the same problems.
What I found was that I had a bad memory module or at least one that was
incompatible with the other 2.
In the first slot was a SEC set of chips from Korea and the other two modules
were NECs when I removed the
first and replaved it with one of the NECs, viola, everything was fine.

Before I did this uptime was measured in hours, minutes if I ran my memory
stress program. I've been up for 5 days straight now.

(the POST always said the memory was fine... ?->
