Bad EIP?

When trying to install red hat linux 7.2 with an amd 1700 + and an asus a7v333 and 256 mb pc2700 ddr

I get the error message "Bad EIP Value unable to handle kernal null pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018"

then it says printing eip and then dies could someone give me some insight on what this could be?

THanks in advance.

The last time I had a bunch of memory errors, I tried everything, ripped my machine apart, ran the memory through www.memtest86.com's utility, swapped the PSU, yanked every card I could, and then in a fit of curiosity, told my bios to reload the defaults, changed my clock speed up to where it should be (old KT133, defaults to 800mhz, I clocked it back up to 1.2), that's all I changed and the problem went away.

Weird, but maybe the case. The board is more or less identical to the 266 flavor of the board with a RAM bus upgrade, that's it. Everything on the chipset is supported under 7.2.

If that doesn't work, first off its yelling about memory addressing so run memcheck, post back, it can get sorted.
