Re: Help:General protection fault in Linux??????

[Alexander Woodby <awoodby tir com>]

Hmm, I've tried replacing everything but the Motherboard and CPU
(with/w/o scsi, w/wo ether, dif video card, and different ram)

I called the company we got the board from, they're cross-shipping a new
board, this is the 3rd foulup on this single order, so I'd rather have
them ship a shiny new board... 

Thanks immensely!
