[lug] unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00XXXXXXX

Wed Aug 29 21:13:53 MDT 2001

Hi,

I am having this RedHat 7.1 post install boot time errors.

I recently flashed my bios and also upgraded my RAM by 128 Mb.I have done memtestx86 and it did not uncover any errors in my RAM.

Here are the captured boot messages:

Set all tongues wagging in the Spanish nation.
For that performance 'twere unfair to scold her:
She wisely left a throne too hot to hold her.
To History she'll be no royal riddle --
