The installation (User, no X) went fine, but the installed kernel panics at boot time with this error: panic: kmem_malloc(-201322496): kmem_map too small: 3366912 total allocated The CPU characteristics: Cyrix 6x86MX, 167.05 MHz, "Cyrix Instead" Id-0x0452 Stepping=0 DIR=0x0452 Features=0x80a135 (FPU,DE,TSC,MSE,CX8,PGE,CMOV,MMX). Real memory = 96468992 Is there something I can do when reinstalling to avoid this? Obviously I can't boot this machine to build a new kernel; this is the generic kernel from a pristine installation. -- ______________________________________________________ ( fred@condo.chico.ca.us Repeal the DMCA.
