We have many old VALinux boxen that this error pops up the harder the
box is run.  In most cases, we change the RAM and it works fine.  Those
that it doesn't work fine, we throw away because it's either the mobo or
the Power Supply.  Frequently, we find replacing our VALinuxen with
PowerEdgen is another workable solution.
