Kernel 2.4.x problem

Kernel 2.4.x problem

[Robin Walser]

Hi there,

I didn't know what to do to fix my problem, so I thought I write to 
you.... So the following is my Problem: ..

Long years ago, I bought every time, Red Hat Linux lalala.. and so on, 
and as I bought Red Hat Linux 7.2 there came the biggest problem I ever 
had, when I compile kernels or oder progs then one time to the other the 
whole computers down, and I get a message like this ....

  //                            fehler2.jpg
 //                             fehler3.jpg

So I didn't knew what to do, in ircnet I asked some people they told me 
that it could might be a memory problem, so they said I should make a 
memory test with memtest86 ... so I did, but there where no errors, and 
the message came every time again, the very strange thing is that this 
never happend until i setup red hat 7.2

So if you are interested to help me by my problem, It would be graceful 
if you write back, otherwise, I'll spend again a lot of time, to fix 
this problem....

Are you using the nvidia supplied 3d drivers ?

It would have helped to prefix these lines with:  http://

The "Machine Check" means "internal error, bus error, or bus error
detected by external agent".

Verify that your CPU fan is working and your case is well ventilated. Then
if it still happens, you can add the boot option "nomce" to disable the
machine check exception.

Beyond this, you'll have to get help from someone else.
