Hi, Jens

This error message has only been seen twice before, both with RedHat 5.0
systems. I do not know if the first person to report it (May 98), Uwe
Schmeling <uschmeli@csa.de> ever found a solution.

The second person, Nicolas Jungers <nj@linkline.be> found it disappeared
after replacing a cable. He said (Nov 98):

It's a bit of mystery?

You have another alternative, you could upgrade the RedHat...
