I have a machine working ok with Slackware about a year old.  No 
troubles installing that back then.  I have downloaded RHCL 2.1.  The 
kernel boots ok, but after the first ramdisk has been munched on for 
a minute or so I get this series of errors:
child xxxx died with code ff00
where the number xxxx increases and the messages scroll up the screen 
as fast as the machine can scroll...  It gets to 4 or 5 thousand 
pretty quickly.

The image I used was 29, but 28 does it too.  I have a "Datastore" 
486-50 Eisa, 12MB, Buslogic Eisa SCSI card, and a ~500 MB disk & 
Archive 150MB tape.  The CD is a Lasermate @ 0x310. The video is a 
Mach32 card w/ busmouse port.  Kinda bummed out after getting hopes 
up...
