I don't run RedHat, but I'd have to say that RAM isn't the solution
here. There's no excuse an image should cause a machine to reboot
unless there is a bus error; in which, you're machine's memory isn't
of good quality or worse isn't fully ATX compliant.
I would definitely follow Russell's advice and forward RedHat the
post with the directions to open the picture. I'm leaning to a
kernel issue as well, but it may be your hardware.
