Re: RH 7.3 with Adaptec VLB Controller Problem

[Aciel <aciel speakeasy net>]

It may be that some of your RAM is bad. I assume it's in multiple chips,
and you need at least 16 for Red Hat installation. It could be that RH73
has a few extra drivers, just enough so that you don't meet the RAM
requirement. Cause I get that same error when I try to install on a
machine with only 8MB (granted, I'm not trying to install SCSI...).
