I ran RHL9 on a machine with a P166 in it. Since I did use X Window System
and GNOME and whatever desktop came with it, it ran kind of slow. When I
raised the RAM from 64 Megabytes to 128 Megabytes, it stopped thrashing.
(It eventually got 256 Megabytes RAM.) It was still slow because of the
slow CPU. But it worked correctly. I do not remember getting this message,
so perhaps something else is the matter.
