Hi, I am trying to install Redhat 6.0 on a pentium 100
w/ 72 MB RAM. After the partition, I got a screenfull
of "kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=buffer_head)".
I guess something is wrong with MM, don't know if I got
bad memory chip. Has anyone encountered this problem?
what was the fix?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Redhat 5.2 installs fine, so I guess it must be the
new kernel 2.2.
