Just a suggestion, but I had a similar problem when installing RH. The very same RAM chips had been in the box for nearly a year and I'd not had any corruption etc when using winXP. RH9 decided not to like the chips and would crash during the installation process - you might remember my posting a few months ago ;) I sorted mine by just lowering the speed the RAM was running in the BIOS. I had mine slightly 'tweaked' for gaming, I lowered the speeds and voltages back to normal and RH runs sweet as a nut! Its worth trying - its only a 5 minute job and could save you some cash, Jeff On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 14:26, salvatore wrote: > Newbie posting. > RH 9 on a PIV 1.4 w/256mb RAM > > I narrowed down my install woes to a RAM chip in the system, removed it, and > installed rh9 with no problems. > With only 256mb, the system performance is less than desirable; since the > POST sees all of the chips just fine, and the install is finished, is there > much harm in reinserting the RAM? > > New RAM is on the, but Id hate to throw out a chip that the install process > didnt like, and the day to day on the system would accept just fine. > Anyone with similar RAM hardware experience? > > .salvatore > http://www.sienar.org/ > http://www.palmisanonet.com/ > > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
