when I booted the Red Hat WS 4 image, I received the following error: “An internal virtual machine error (13) has occurred.  The virtual machine will reset now.”

To resolve this error, first boot in single user mode:

1. In GRUB menu select Red Hat Linux with the version of the kernel that you wish to boot and type e for edit. You will be presented with a list of items in the configuration file for the title you just selected.
2. Select the line that starts with kernel and type e to edit the line.
3. Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word. Press enter to exit edit mode.
4. Back at the GRUB screen, type b to boot into single user mode.

Next, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace set the Driver to “vesa”.  Also, set the DefaultDepth to 16 from 24.  The implementation of the S3 hardware doesn’t support a colordepth of 24 and will cause the error 13.
