[SunRescue] Two Ill Ultra 1's

[Mike Nicewonger]

I have seen the Red State Eception show up when bad RAM was in a system.
It is also a symtom of a bad CPU. Make sure the CPU fan is good. If not it
may have litterally baked it's self to death.

As for the scsi showing on every ID it sounds like somebody has set the
jumpers on the drive to ID 7 which is the same ID as the controller.
