Lonnie,

	Got an UDMA 80Pin IDE attached to the hard drive instead of a 40
pin?

Thank you,

Subject: [PLUG] Redhat 9 install on Asus P4GE-V

First off here is the error:
CPU 0: machine check exception 0000000000000004
Bank 0: A200000084010400

My hardware in test mode is all new:
Asus P4GE-V
2  512M DIM DDR PC2100
Western Digital 80GB drive.

I get this error when installing RH 8 (my download and burn), 9 ( a
friends
download and burn) and Mandrake 9 from home burned CDs.  I have tried
text
mode and still get the error.  The error consistently locks the computer
when the install goes to format the drives or is writing the packages to
the
disk.

At first I thought it was memory, so I exchanged it, no joy.  I yanked
out
all network cards and have only one hard drive. I removed my DVD-CDR and
used a plain old CD, no joy. I have switch memory to different banks and
tried one module, no joy.

So I thought it was the main board and was about to exchange it when I
got
the idea to try my original WinNT disk.  Well to my surprise it
installed.
Well then I tried my DVD for Mandrake 8.1 Pro-Suite and it installed.

My Mandrake 9 CDs installed flawlessly on my IBM A21p so I know I can
download and make ISO CDs that work.  I also had my RH 8 installed on
this
box in a software RAID but I wanted to try RH 9 and change the RAID
configuration so the RH 8 disks worked once, but now it fails.

My questions: 

What does the error mean?
Is are there incompatibilities in home burned ISO images that affect
hardware?
Suse says that their disto works on this MoBo, should I try that?
Will commercial CDs of RH 9 work?

I'm going bonkers with this and have spent about a week futzing with
this
box on and off.
