My system is cobbled-together--it has an AMD 586 133-mHz cpu, a quantum 2.1 gig hd, a mitsumi 32X cd-rom, and a typically generic floppy drive. I've also got 16 megs of ram. Basically, I can get the machine to go through the install, but I invariably get these weird, wonky things. I get a "fatal trap 12: page fault in kernel mode" message and then the machine reboots. Sometimes it will start up with from the hd. Sometimes it will only start up from the floppy. Sometimes the system, upon reboot, will ask me for the shell and then it will hang. I have been tearing my hair out over this for the past 2 days. I've tried switching hard drives, I've made a new boot disk,I have disconnected and reconnected everything inside that computer at least a dozen times. and I know that everything on that machine, with the posslble exception of the motherboard and ram, works. Because I've tried everything out on different components that I *knew* worked. Please help me. I mean, unix can't be THIS frustrating thanks alissa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
