CRC and Out of Memory Error


Hi,

My Linux PC (Mandrake 8.1) crashed, and when I rebooted it, I got this:

Uncompressing Linux...


CRC Error

-- System Halted

I left my PC for the next day, and now I get this:

Uncompressing Linux...


Out of memory

-- System Halted

How can I be out of memory?
Any ideas?

Pentium 133
32MB Ram
8GB HDD
Mandrake 8.1

There is a public directory on the hdd. If I cannot fix the problem, is there a way I can get the stuff in the /home/public dir?

These errors can happen due to some processor+board or memory(bank fill)+board combinations.

Getting the stuff off of the disk depends on you being able to dump the HD in another box and mount it there, boot it with a boot/install/resuce disk/cdr and use network storage or attach some portable storage device.
