CDROM crashes the kernel
This question does not require much information other than the following:
1. This computer previously had RedHat9 installed with the exact same hardware as now.
2. I re-installed redhat because I just felt like it. Installation is almost the same as the last one.
3. View the following website for a list of errors

4. Installed RedHat9 of the CDROM that is causing this error.
Any help is appreciated. Otherwise, to ultimately save time, should I re-install?

Have a try on system recover by using your installation CD too see it will help or not, if not re-install may be the choice.
Also, if you reinstall, do you have any important data in linux, if yes, try to use the KNOPPIX (http://www.knoppix.org) a linux on a CD to boot up and backup all your necessary data into other media, than try to reformat the harddisk and install the linux again.

Any luck with the dma trick ?
I had a look at your nice "screenshot" :-)
It definitely looks like a DMA issue.
