kernel panic on 6500/225

[Ken Schweigert]

Duane,

In my experience, kernel panics are usually caused when linux tries
to access a segment of memory on a bad stick of RAM.  I've had good
luck just running off of a single stick, in turn, to find which one
consistently causes the failure and then replacing that stick.

You might also want to look through /var/log/messages and see if 
there are any CRC errors.  Since you only have 96MB, and running
X-Windows+KDE, it's a good chance that your system is writing to
the swap disk which could have some bad sectors.

Just some thoughts on places to start.

So I tried YD2.1  this worked but now I am constantly getting crashes, logging into KDE, pinging, starting MOL, starting httpd, a little bit of everywhere.  I have tried compiling different kernels and all have the same issue (2.4.19, 2.4.18, the stock 2.4.10).  In macos I have run tech tool and all hardware is testing out fine.  I have 96 megs of ram.  I have even tried taking out the network cards, video input, modem, and still have the same problem.
