Upgrade (2 continued)

Three crashes yesterday morning trying to do the Red Hat 9 upgrade:
  1. System crash which brought the machine back up in a state lacking all CMOS information.
  2. A crash during install which dumped this out to the screen:
    Oops: 0000
    CPU:  0
    EIP:  0060: [] Not tainted
    EFLAGS: 00010202

  3. Another crash which dropped me back to the system boot prompt
Well, maybe it was the heat. The Windows 2000 machine in the same room is showing problems too. Try again later.
