Folks,
Installed redhat V9 successfully, no problems with the install. Let pc
sit overnight with redhat running, root file system corrupted with any
reboot, ie unable to reboot. This has now happened on three different
machines (of various flavours). A fourth machine o problems. Any ideas would
be appreciated. I have considered the issues of redhat /boot and / residing
within 1024 cylinder mark of the harddrive and DMA issues as suggested by
some posts without success

Maybe something is being initiated by crontab during the night, and crashing
for some reason... maybe there's something on a system log, have you looked
at dmesg output?  Have you tried getting back into your filesystem with
Linux rescue?  Have you used fsck or e2fsck to try to repair the filesystem?
Did you set up your partitions as ext2 or ext3?

Good luck, anyway.
