I started up my Redhat 6.2 box for the first time in a week or so and it wouldn't boot. I get this message:

"init: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory."

Anyone have any ideas?

Linux is a bit pickier than Windows about marginal hardware. In particular if you using PC 100 but running it at 133 you may get this problem.

I'm not saying that's the problem, but it's certainly probable.

Well if it's running at 66MHZ then it's RAM going bad, or it's not seated correctly or something. If it's running at higher than what it's rated, again my explanation is plausible.
