Re: RH 9.0 network card not detected

["Bob Young" <rlyoun1 suscom net>]

I downloaded and ran the memtest-86 v3.0.  It ran with no errors.  When it
fails when I don't put the option mem=384M I get the message similar to
this:
CODE: 0F B7 42 28 21 C1 66 89 4A 28 89 14 24 E8 6B C1 F6 FF EB 9C
KERNEL PANIC: FATAL EXCEPTION

Two of my lights on the keyboard will also blink and the only way to restart
is to turn power off and then back on.  Thanks in advance.
